you can try to parse the contents of the file and compare the lines you are reading, maybey something like this (will require some polishing):

open(FH, $filename);

while (<FH>) {
print $_ if ($_ =~ / /);
}

in other words, will print the line if it contains a space, but it may be not what you are requiring, for that some more info may come in handy..

If the $otherfilename is not specified, the text widget contents writes the file of $filename used in the last Load() call. If no file was previously Load()'ed an error message pops up. The default filename of the last Load() call is not overwriten by $otherfilename. $text->FileName(?$otherfilename?) If passed an argument sets the file name associated with the loaded document.
