Re: Trying to do multiple while loops on the same input file

[runrig]

Why would having two loops cause the file handle position to be reset? I'd be upset if it did, because sometimes it makes sense to read a file in more than one loop and do something like:

while (<$fh>) {
 ..read/process file header
 last if /End-Of-Header/;
}

while (<$fh>) {
  ...read/process file body
}
