I need to copy each row of a document that contains the words "make", "model", "year". I will need each row to be put into a new file.

I need to repeat for 300 files. They are located in the same folder and all copied data will be written to the same file. The documents are long but the words are guaranteed to be in the top 30 rows.

I'm still new to Perl and all the help is much appreciated. I'd rather not have to open every file and copy data manually.

Thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
