Re^3: Parsing/regex question

[superfrink]

Then in the while loop you can do something like this:

...

    if (0 < $lines_to_skip) {
        if ($line =~ /datestamp-regex/) {
            next LINE;
        }

        # we are at the next date stamp line so fall through, etc.

    }
...

Also rename $lines_to_skip to something suitable.
