(kudra) Re: Reading entire file.

Update: Oops, thank you cLive--I misread the $that = 0; as another $that = 1 and therefore saw it as just checking and printing single lines.

As for your problem with stopping, I'm not seeing any reason why this section wouldn't work (assuming $foo and $bar are what you want them to be)

Ps. You can print $. instead of keeping a counter.

The lines will not contain both $foo and $bar at the same time. As a very newbie I do not understand exactly what your code is saying. (my programming experiance comes from pascal programming in high school 6 years ago.) Also, how does Perl know that it is at the end of a file?

See eof:

if ( eof FILEHANDLE ) {
   print "Reached end of file.\n";
}

This doesn't do what (s)he wants. They're looking at grabbing a block starting with $foo and up to, but not including, $bar.

(as far as I can see).

[stuffy]

you are correct, I do not want to include $bar. I wouldn't mind if it started after (not including) $foo either.
