RE: CUt first and last line from a file (DATA)

[Paul Kraus]

Not tested

While (<file>){
        my @record = split /\|/;
        next unless ($record[6]);  # go to next line if all 7 fields are
not populated
        .....
}


Unless I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do that should work.

I don't get why you would want to skip the first and second lines
though. 
However if they are not records the code above will have them skipped.
