how to insert a line in a multiline data record under an if condition in a search and replace regular expression?
For example, I have the following muliline data record which shows the hardware type but some don't show this information and need an if condition in a search and replace (in a regular expression) to check for this this condition and if
__Data__
@test_scsi`
memory_test
windows(xp)
hardware-type - hp
1. dkdjkdkdkdkdkdkdkd
2. dkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkk
And this example, the hardware type is not missing below the line of the Operating System but need an if condition to insert it in a search and replace Perl regular expression with a default of underfined hardware type
__Data__
@test_scsi`
memory_test
windows(xp)
Underfined Hardware type <-------------- missing and these words need to be added
1. dkdjkdkdkdkdkdkdkd
2. dkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkk
__Data__
@test_scsi`
memory_test
windows(xp)
hardware-type - hp

thanks wilcoxon, your code is working as requested...
You need to add the following before line 9 somewhere...
my $os = '(?:windows|linux|mac)';
