@matches = grep /^Status/, @data; If this doesn't do it you might consider posting some sample data.

I would like to use it to pull out all full lines of text, that starts with the word "Status", from a list of files. I am not really too experienced with using Metacharacters and Metasymbols and do not know how to go about doing this with grep. Can someone help me out with this?
