Grabbing a chunk of text from a file

Hi,
I have a Report.txt file. Say the contents of this file are :

1 2 3 4 5 7 df v g gf

e r dfkf lsdk dslsdklsdk
Report Start: xxxxxxdad
asdffsdfsdfsdfasfasdffasdf
sadfasdfsadffsfsdf Report End.
sdfasdfasdf
sdfasfdasdfasdfasdfasdf
sadfasdfsdf


I need to grab from Report Start to Report end, in a ksh script. How would I do this?

sub cb($$$) { my ($options, $reason, $message) = @_; ... } dispatcher Log::Report::Dispatcher::Callback => 'cb' , callback => &cb; dispatcher CALLBACK => 'cb' # same , callback => &cb; DESCRIPTION
This basic file logger accepts a callback, which is called for each message which is to be logged. When you need complex things, you may best make your own extension to Log::Report::Dispatcher, but for simple things this will do. METHODS

The "options" are the first parameter of Log::Report::report() (read over there). The "reason" is a capitized string like "ERROR". Finally, the "message" is a Log::Report::Message. charset => CHARSET format_reason => 'UPPERCASE'|'LOWERCASE'|'UCFIRST'|'IGNORE'|CODE locale => LOCALE mode => 'NORMAL'|'VERBOSE'|'ASSERT'|'DEBUG'|0..3 Accessors $obj->callback Returns the code reference which will handle each logged message. $obj->isDisabled See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->mode See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->name See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->needs See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->type See "Accessors" in Log::Report::Dispatcher Logging $obj->collectLocation Log::Report::Dispatcher::Callback->collectLocation See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->collectStack([MAXDEPTH]) Log::Report::Dispatcher::Callback->collectStack([MAXDEPTH]) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->log(HASH-of-OPTIONS, REASON, MESSAGE) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->stackTraceLine(OPTIONS) Log::Report::Dispatcher::Callback->stackTraceLine(OPTIONS) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher $obj->translate(HASH-of-OPTIONS, REASON, MESSAGE) See "Logging" in Log::Report::Dispatcher SEE ALSO
