You could use Perl 5's formats, but they're ugly to work with.
Perl6::Form presents them in a simpler and better fashion.
use Perl6::Form;
print form
| {} |,
$string
;
does what you want. See the module's documentation for details.
You'll have to download the module from CPAN, since I highly doubt you
already have it.

1. What should I do , if I want to read each line
of
text with the search word. Should I put the
occurence of search word in an array ? (I'm not so
sure).
2. If I want to read the string, provided only a
certain length (for e.g., 5 words to the LEFT of
search word 5 words to the RIGHT of search
word). Is there a range to declare but how to
detect
the starting point and end point for each
occurence?

RE: Formatting text
This is going off of two assumptions, 1) that you want the task number to be
unique and 2) the fields are supposed to be tab delimited. If you want to
remove the dups from a different column then make that column as the key to
the hash. As for which fields, you can add and remove any column from the
value of the hash. Hope this helps.
open FILE, file;
open OUT, outfile;
while (FILE) {
chomp;
next if /^SBLSRVR_NAME/; # ignore the first line.
next if /^/; # ignore the second line.
split /\t/,; # split each line and put it into @_.
$hash{$_[4]} = qq[@_[4]\t@_[5]\t@_[8]\t@_[9]\t@_[10]]; # Assign parts of
@_ to %hash.
}
print OUT qq[$hash{$_}\n], for sort keys %hash; # Print your hash to the

If you want to remove the dups from a different column then make that column as the key to the hash. As for which fields, you can add and remove any column from the value of the hash. Hope this helps. open FILE, file; open OUT, outfile; Without really checking out the rest of the code, I see a problem here. What happens if 'file' or 'outfile' don't exist? This code will silently fail and tracking down the bug could be a pain if this is embedded in a large system. This is such a common problem that use strict 'system' is being considered for Perl 6. With this, the script would automatically die if someone forgets to check the return value of a system call. The above code is better written as: open FILE, $file or die Can't open $file for reading: $!; open OUT, $outfile or die Can't open $outfile for writing: $!; I know, I know, I can hear the protests already: but Ovid, you're just being anal-retentive. This programmer *knows* the files are there. That's a frequent rebuttal, but if you work with Perl for any length of time, you're likely to have many programs just lying around. I've repeatedly seen people get bitten by this when they reorganize directories, migrate their scripts to new boxes, or simply get rid of 'unnecessary' files to save some disk space. It takes so little work up from to save so much pain later. Cheers, Curtis Poe = Senior Programmer Onsite! Technology (http://www.onsitetech.com/) Ovid on http://www.perlmonks.org/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Hm, I don't remember any discussion on that one, but perhaps I missed something. Regardless, you don't need to wait until Perl 6 for similar functionality. Perl has as standard, since at least Perl 5.005, the Fatal module. use Fatal qw(:void open); open(FILE, /etc/passwd); *KABOOM* Or, you can use it to do your checking for you (the above only does a check if open is called in void context): use Fatal qw(open); open(FILE, /etc/passwd); *KABOOM* Granted, it's not as simple as use strict 'system', but you can pretty easily write a pragma or module to effectively do that for you. You could even patch strict.pm to do it, just don't expect it to get adopted into core (strict's stricture are frozen, AFAIK).

Damian Conway was here in Portland a couple of weeks ago giving a prospectus on Perl 6 and that was one of the issues he mentioned. Cheers, Curtis Poe = Senior Programmer Onsite!
