opening a file from cgi... help

[albbr1]

im playing around my first perl cgi script that show me proxy logfile without useless lines.
can perl return lines from a pattern directly opening a file, like 'grep' o 'gawk' in bash?
I try:

 
open LOGFILE, "(< /var/log/foo.log";
@line = reverse <LOGFILE>;
foreach $line(@line) 
....

then i split lines and format the output but my problem is that i dont want the entire logfile but only lines that doesn't match with a pattern (to exclude \.jpg¦\.gif¦\.png for example..)

tnx for help in advance.

Welcome!

@line = grep!/jpg/, @line;

There should be a space after the grep, but the posting keeps removing the space. Weird.

tnx bnhall, it works great!
but lines i grep from that file are thousands so my next step is find a way to split and autolink this pages.
i have added a counter to my script and im working around something like this:

$linenumber = $linenumber + 1;
if $linenumber == 500 {
generate a page autolinked with other(s)
};

any code idea?
tnx again.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to do. What do you mean "split and autolink"?

I think what he means is that the list of matching lines is very long and he wants to create more than one page to view the results. Maybe display 20 lines on a page then click a link to see the next 20 results.

Is this correct?
