and a lot of the text manipulation things confuse me.
Really? Which things specifically, and in what way?
I have a large text file with
information essentially broken into lines like this:
findable text with a regexp
information I care about
more findable text
There are plenty of sections like this in the file. How can I write a
program that opens the file then searches for the middle line and
prints it to a new file?
What have you tried so far?
Example:
open my $IN, '<', 'infile.txt' or die $!;
open my $OUT, '>', 'outfile.txt' or die $!
while ( <$IN> ) {
print $OUT scalar <$IN> if /^findable/;
}
