Hi all,
I would like to read this text file and store it on different variable. Each set of data is separated by
##startoffile## and ##endoffile## . I can read this file .. spliting and storing is not done.
The value will be stored as
password= saV9ejDMWuP92.
sub=Hello

print "password: $pw\n\n";
for($i=0;$i<$#msgs;$i++)
{
foreach(sort keys %mail)
