How to print line by line of read c file after removing comments from it using perl

Question

use Regexp::Common qw( comment );
local $/ = undef;
$_ = <DATA>;
s/$RE{comment}{C}//gs;

I have read complete file data and removed all comments from the read file. Now I want to print line by line instead of printing all data at once.

as per my understanding complete file data is in string $_ . How to convert it into a array so that I can print it line by line.

If the file data is in array I can do some string matching like that

Answer 1

Try:

my @filecontents = split /\n/; # assuming the data is in $_
print "$_\n" foreach (@filecontents);

Hope that helps

Answer 2

You can split your string at newline, and output the result list one by one.

foreach my $line (split /\n/) {
    print "$line\n";
}

Or

say for (split /\n/);

If your Perl supports say .
