I am learning Perl and loving it. Perl is cool.......not as
cool as APL but nonetheless cool. Here is my question. I have to read into a
file for a particular string in a record. The "strings" occur in different
records. I then call a subroutine and within the subroutine need to be able to
reference previous records to extract information. (ex. I find my "target
string" on line/record 8, from my subroutine I want to go back to line/record 4
and parse information on several records coming forward from line/record
4)
I guess what I am asking is how in the Perl do you set the
read pointer??
TIA
