Hi, I want to do something similar, read multiple files and extract some piece of readed lines for a file or screen, to generate te output file could be used unix redirection.
Do you have new ideas how to work with multiple files ?

How can I do this ? Or could it be done ? Open some files ( unknown number of files ), depends on users demand. Then start looking for some desired line ( use regex ). I have an array to carry the info of matched data ( from which file, which line ). while the $#array is 99 and all files would be closed Result is then print to screen. However, I am trying not to use looping process like : open all files, then read a line from file A and try matching, then read a line from file B and try matching,, then read a line from file C and try matching,.... until eof of all files or $#result == 99. and close all file handles... I hope folks here can understand what I am asking about. Thanks in advise Esta mensagem foi verificada pelo E-mail Protegido Terra.
