Do you want to pull out lines FROM files, or from a list of files?

e.g.: to print a list of lines beginning with 'my' from a directory of perl scripts:

while (<*>){
open IN, "$_";
@matches = grep {/^my/} <IN>;
close IN;
}

print @matches

I tried what you did suggested and it only pulled out the word Status, here
is the code below;

#location contains the path for the report to be stored
$report_location = $location;
$report_location =~ s/\//\\/;
$report_location = "$report_location" . "\\Reports";
unless( -e $report_location) ){
mkdir( $report_location ) or die "died creating Report Directory";
}

#open Report HTML file
open( FILE, "> $report_location\\$year_$month_$date_Report.htm" ) or die
"Dead creating Report";
#print intial html to report file
print FILE
"<html>\n<head>\n<title>$year_$month_$date_report</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n
";

#file paths include paths to the files, that Status should be greped from
#ex) C:\\Test.htm
foreach $project_file ( @file_paths ){
#grep Status line from $project_file
@status_line = grep /^Status/, $project_file;
}
print FILE "</body>\n</html>\n";
close(FILE);


Hope this can point to any failures.

Thanks
Eric

@matches = grep /^Status/, @data;

If this doesn't do it you might consider posting some sample data.

Subject: question about grep


I got a question concerning grep. 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?

Thanks in advanced
Eric
