While Loop in Perl
Hi All
I am reading the file using while loop in Perl someting like
Code:
while (my $s=<F>){
chomp($s);
..
..
..
}

What i want to do is after the chomp statement i used some condition, if the condition is met then it should move forward otherwise it should read the new line. How Can it be done in Perl

IF you can be bothered to have a look in a beginners book about PERL you might be enlightened, ELSE you won't. It is that simple.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Try this one after chomp,
Code:
next if(condition);

Cheers,

Code:
while (my $s=<F>){ chomp($s);
     if #(condition) {
          # do this
     } else  {     #if the if fails           
          # do this
      }
}
