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

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
to
get the desired results.
Thanks for your input

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

I'm in a pretty-code-mode at the moment, my apologies for the overkill.
#location contains the path for the report to be stored
$report_location = $location;
$report_location =~ s/\//\\/;
To make this regex look a bit better you can use a different delimiter
rather than /. Also you
with while
(IFILE) {...}

actually I think I see what is wrong with the code. At
first I was reading the wrong variable which was producing
just the word Status and second after looking at the grep
function again it looks as though
