Hi, all,

I am a newbie for perl. I am learning perl for my biological data analysis. Now, I have a data look like this:

>I do not need-1
.....................(dots mean data here)
.................
.................
>I do not need -2
......................
.............................
>What I need-1
.............................
...............................
.....................
.........................
>what I need-2
......................................
...................................
...................................
>>I do not need-3
.................................
......................
...................
...............

Because there are more than 20,000 items of "what I need" in the source file. I need write a perl script to extract all the items of "what I need" and their data. That's means, I need produce a file contains all the following data:

>What I need-1
.............................
...............................
.....................
.........................
>what I need-2
......................................
...................................
...................................

My program is like this, I do not know how to get the data below the ">what I need-*". Can you kindly give me some suggestions?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $outfile = "test..res";
my $infile= "Source_data";
my @source;
my $line;


open INPUT, "$infile" or die "can not open $infile"; open OUTPUT, ">$outfile" or die "can not write $outfile"; @source = <INPUT>;

foreach $line(@source){
if ($line =~ /What I need/){
print OUTPUT "$line";
..?????......................
..?????................
}
}

close INPUT;
close OUTPUT;
