Problem with a regex?by TStanley (Canon) |

TStanley has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: I have a large report that I need to extract data from. The report can be broken down into records, with the start of each one looking similar to what is below:
I am using the following code to split the file out into the separate stores, but it splits out into two elements, with element 0 of the array being empty, and everything else within element 1:
One thing that I noticed is that when viewing the input file in vi (I am doing this on a HP-UX system), there is a ^L character at the start of each store, with the exception of the first one, so my guess is that the first part of the regex is incorrect. As always, suggestions/hints are welcome.
