Hi there
I'm a new bird to Perl - and I have a little problem.
I have a file input where I split the file into an array and that works
fine, but there is some spam in the beginning of the file I want to
get rid of - the problem is that I never know how many lines there is
with this spam!

Sorry, that was hasty...shoulda been something more like
my $file = '/path/to/file';
open(THEFILE,$file);
my @ary = THEFILE;
close(THEFILE);
for my $line(@ary) {
if($line !~ /^\d/) {
}
}

Hi again
Great thanks to all the quickly answers!
I tried a couple of them and - yes it works - thanks!
But how does it work? if(string =~/^[0-9]/)
The part string =~/^[0-9]/ - does it split the string into single

I want to be scour that I have understood the Principe correct.
i would suggest
if($string =~ /^[0-9]/)
checks to see if the string starts with 0. If it doesn't, it checks if the
string starts with 1. If it doesn't, it checks if the string starts with 2,
and so on until the condition is true. If the condition is never true, then
it will do whatever is in your else {} (or

Perl works everywhere, ASP works (basically) only on Micro$oft crap.
Perl has mod_perl available for Apache, which will blow away any ASP.
Perl also has things like HTML::Mason which allow you to embed Perl
