Simple question about while 1

[nrich239]

This kinda goes along with my other post but I want to do a while loop that goes until ti finds the end date

I know in an if statement I can use =~ to see if it contains a certain piece.

What I want to know is if there is a doesn't contain, something like (!=~)??

If not, what else could I use like that?

basically I want to do something like this:

if($word =~ $begin) {
while($word !=~ $end) {
print "$word ";
}
}

Hi nrich,

you were nearly there ..

use !~ for 'does not match' or 'does not contain'

Thanks,

hi nrich239, did you already heard about 'sed'

sed -ne "/$begin/,/$end/p" inputfilename
