I have a log file with thousands of lines, some of those lines come in with garbage / binary data in them. The lines with that happening are junk and of no use to me I want to pattern match for the junk and simply do nothing with that line, all other lines get divided into 2 different output files.
State your definition of garbage in a regex and make something like this the first line in the while loop:
next if /[^\w\s",.:@\/-]/;
