Assigning part of a string to a variable using the filehandle.

[Allison Ogle]

Hi,

I have a problem trying to assign part of a string to a variable using the
filehandle.  For example, if the string was DisplayName  =XYZ and I want to
assign XYZ to the variable $mytext in the code below how would I do this.  I
am having trouble with the line ($mytext) =(<DATA>)=~ /DisplayName(.*)/; and
I know this is wrong but I can't find any documentation anywhere on how to
do this.  Any help would be great!

while(<DATA>){
        print if/DisplayName/;          # prints the line if it conains 'DisplayName'
        if(/DisplayName/){
                ($mytext) =(<DATA>)=~ /DisplayName(.*)/;
                print $mytext;
        }
