Perl : Find a string and Print full line
Hi

Need a perl script to read lines in a file, scan for a string named "APPLE" and write to different file the only lines containing the matched string.

Can you not use grep
Code:
grep 'APPLE' infile > outfile

Or is this a classroom assignment?

hi..
#perl -wln -e 'print if /\bAPPLE\b/' your_file > new_file

Code:
open(IN,"<inputFile");
open(OUT,">outputFile");
while(<IN>)
{
     chomp;
     if( $_ =~ m/APPLE/ )
          print OUT $_;
}

It's a feature of many forum sites.

You can either type it in yourself:

[code]
....
[/code]

Or you can click the code tags button

in the edit window, near the end of the line with B I U etc..
