Parsing a file using perl and skipping some lines
Hi,

Consider following file with input:

Code:
`YFLG:NC^Byad_insert constraint {id=600104470} {profile=GENDER == 2} {profile=BEHAVIOR == 17} {profile=SITEATTR_MULT == siteid:211051} {profile=AGE in [30,34]}
yad_insert ad {id=1718286093336959379} {type=R} 
^AYFLG:YOO^Byad_insert constraint {id=600104471} {profile=GENDER == 2} {profile=BEHAVIOR == 17} {profile=SITEATTR_MULT == siteid:211051} {profile=AGE in [30,34]}
yad_insert ad {id=1718286101926893971} {type=R} {secure=1} {AD_LANDING_PAGE=yahoo.com,www.yahoo.com/}

All lines begin with YFLG and end in ^A. I want to skip the lines in between YFLG:NC and the ^A and consume only those lines following YFLG:YOO until the next ^A.

Can someone please tell me how to achieve the same in perl.

Thanks
