in your code you exit() the program after the first line that is checked
wether or not the line triggers an error. Ath this point the only line that
gets checked is the 10th to the last line. Your spec says to check the last
10 lines.
I'd probably use something that looks like this:
open(INFILE, "$File");
@lines = (<INFILE>);
close (INFILE);
for my $index ($#lines - 10 .. $#lines) {
if( $lines[ $index ] =~ m/\berror\b/ ) {
print("found error, element: $index");
print(" value: $lines[ $index ]\n");
> print LOG "xyz log has a problem\n";
> &email ("\nxyz log has a problem on $t\n");
} else {
print("element: $index okay, val= $lines[ $index ]\n");
> print "I am doing great";
> print LOG "xyz is working fine\n";
> print LOG "No E-mail is being sent\n";
}
}
