Re: Looping through end of file once a match is found

[mkmcconn]

Would you be looking for something as simple as this ?

  # when $search_date is found beginning in the 52nd column
  # of a log entry that begins with 6 digits, then 
  # print the matching line and the remainder of the file.

my $gate = '';
for(<FILE>){
    if ( $gate || ($gate = /^\d{6}.{45}$search_date/)){
        print RESULT;
    }
}
