You want to do some simple splitting:
my @run;
open FILE, "< $file" or die "can't read $file: $!";
while (<FILE>) {
my ($line, $val, $char) = split;
if ($val > 1) {
print @run, "\n" if @run > 9;
@run = ();
next;
}
push @run, $char;
}
close FILE;
That does it rather simply. If you want to keep the line numbers
recorded, you'll have to keep track of those as well.
