parsing text file

[sevak316]

Hello,

I stored a text file into an array. Now I am going through the array looking for a particular string. When I find that string, I want certain things that come after it to be stored into a variable until I reach a flag which tells me that I am done. I would like to repeat this for the entire file.

So this is what I have so far:

foreach $line (@raw_messages)
{
    if ($line =~ /ca69/) # looking for 'ca69' in the message 
    {    
        do {    
             $e_message = $e_message . $line;
        } while ($line =~ / };/);  # flag
    }
print PARSED_MESSAGE_FILE $e_message, "\n";        
$e_message = "";
}
 

This works for the first line that contains "ca69". However, it doesnt keep going to the next line until it finds " };".

Can anyone help?
-Thanks.
