Help: Print lines

Hello,

I'm a newbie in Perl. And I face a problem when I process the data from a
file. My file is like is

>CT1
XY0002658-96
0000222541
>CT2
XY0002688-55
0000254147
>CT5
ZZ0004854-00
0000475568
............

And I hope when some conditions match 'CT1', then can print its contents 'XY0002658-96
0000222541', if match 'CT2' print 'XY0002688-55
0000254147'. However, when I use
if /CT1/
{
print;
}
just print the label, what if I hope print contents, what should I notice?

Thank you very much~

Regards,

Amy Lee

Thank you very much. But I just have Learning Perl this book and I didn't
find out what "print scalar" is. And if the content dose not just contain
2 lines, multi lines, what should I do?

Thank you again.

Assuming you know what print() is, please check out

perldoc -f scalar

> And if the content dose not just contain

Then the above approach isn't sufficient. Something like this might do:

while ( ) {
if ( /CT2/ ) {
while ( ) {
last if /^>/;
print;
}
}
}

It isn't "print scalar" it is "print X" where X is "scalar "

perldoc -f scalar

perldoc -q paragraph

#!/usr/bin/perl

Or
$/ = "\n >";
while () {
print $1 if /CT5\n(.*)\n/s;
}
