Perl script extension

[Chartier Jerome]

Hi all,

I have a last question on the script provided by Hein below, http://forums.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=947337.
Is it possible to extract the pattern for all the file in a directory starting with ABC for example and store the result in one file?

$serial = shift @ARGV or die "please provide serial number to select on";
while (<>) {
if (/^flag_start/) {
$save = 1;
$file = 0;
undef @lines;
}
if (/^flag_stop/) {
$save = 0;
push @lines, $_;
if ($file) {
print while ($_ = shift @lines );
}
print "\n";
}
push @lines, $_ if $save;
$file++ if /$serial/;
}


Thanks in advance for your help

Best Regards

Jerome

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I think you either need

a. glob ()
b. magic diamond
c. local @ARGV

a. my @files = glob "ABC*";
b. my @files = ; # space is important here
c. local @ARGV = ();

# perldoc -f glob
# man perlvar

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Yes. You can,

Put this in a script file called,

#extrac.pl
$serial = shift @ARGV or die "please provide serial number to select on";
while (<>) {
if (/^flag_start/) {
$save = 1;
$file = 0;
undef @lines;
}
if (/^flag_stop/) {
$save = 0;
push @lines, $_;
if ($file) {
print while ($_ = shift @lines );
}
print "\n";
}
push @lines, $_ if $save;
$file++ if /$serial/;
}
# end #

# perl extract.pl ABC* > serial_no1.log

hth.

[Muthukumar_5 · Accepted solution]

sorry. You have to give SerialKey too so,

# perl extract.pl ABC*

while (<>){} - will get data from all input files.

Example:

# perl extract.pl Serialkey1 ABC* > serialkey.tmp

There is another solution in this thread,
