Hello All,
I am new to perl. I want to display the lines which have
"Testing" word. I have to do this in command line.
I tried the with following options. Its not work what I expected. It
dispalys all lines.
perl -p -e 'print if /Testing/m' test.txt
ANy help much appreciated!

This will do it:
perl -n -e 'print if /Testing/m' test.txt
'-p' prints every line in the file so you'll see the matching lines
twice (one because of '-p' and the other because of 'print') and the
non-matching lines once (because of '-p').
Look in 'perldoc perlrun' for differences on '-p' and '-
