Hello, In the following script my goal is pull the date value each time an error value (hardcoded) is found in the specified log file. The script retrieves the error value without a problem but I cannot seem get the date value. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
The error message when I run the script is: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at script.pl line 32 where line 32 is where I am calling this: "print $date"; Here is the script: use warnings; use strict; #Specify the path to the log file you want to read, for ex. application log# open (FILEHANDLE, 'd:/scripts/server2.log') or print "Can't Open File!!!"; while(( my $line = <FILEHANDLE>)) { #Searching for keywords from application log# if (($line =~ m/CQCommitException/i ) || ($line =~ m/Communication link failure/i)) { my @fields = split '\|', $_; my $date = $fields[1]; print $date; #prints $line to file open (my $outfile, ">>", "d:/scripts/loginfo.txt") or die "Can't open loginfo.txt: $!"; print $outfile "$date, $_\n"; #close $outfile or die "$outfile:$!"; } } my $outfile = 'd:/scripts/loginfo.txt'; #To send or not to send - file size check #Delete file when done #unlink 'd:\scripts\loginfo.txt'; -END- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
