Subject: find string, get line number or position, then restart at +1

Hi All,

First off I want to say this list is very helpful and people are nice
and polite compared to many other email lists and forums I have been on
for years and years, notably the camel lists. Thank you!


Ok so I have a file where I am searching for the string "Jul 14.*" for
example using a regexp and this is working fine.  However I have been
debating on how to move forward with what code, $. or tell with seek?

for each line in file
   linenumber = $. if /^string/
end

for each line in file
   linenumber = tell line if /^string/
end

Will either of the above pseudo-code work?

seek to linenumber and add 1
start re-reading at linenumber+1 and store data until EOF.

Please help and or provide sample code?

thank you
