Hi, thank you for your response, this is a good solution, like i told you i am very new with this language and i have a problem your solution recongnize only natural values but i want obtain something like this(i read more about perl but i don't find a solution for "."):
specialword aaa=2.2e-12

and solution:

aaa is equal to 2.2e-12

perl -lne 'do {while (/\s(\w+)=(\S+)/g){print "$1 is equal to $2"}} if /^specialword/' inputfile
