Hello All,
I have a question - I am new to perl and I would like to
parse a file that I have and gather some data from that
for use. What I am looking to do is to search the file
for a set of { } once I reach that set of { } I want to
parse the data in the brackets.
Example:
Device Capacity
{
Cylinders : 18590
Tracks : 278850
512-byte Blocks : 17846400
MegaBytes : 8714
KiloBytes : 8923200
}
Each set of brackets, { }, has its unique title or header as
show above. I want to find the unique title and then parse
the data within the { } and then move on to the next unique
header / title and do the same thing. So from the above I
would like to find "Device Capacity" and then within the { }
assign each sub catagory its appropriate value.
So what I think that I would do is to create a HoH. But the
question is how do I ensure that I only grab the data within
the brackets.
What the HoH would look like is this, if I am correct:
DeviceCapacity{Cylinders} = 18590
DeviceCapacity{Tracks} = 278850
DeviceCapacity{512-byteBlock} = 278850
DeviceCapacity{MegaBytes} = 8714
DeviceCapacity{KiloBytes} = 8714
So I just need some assistance on how to parse the data from within
the brackets and assign that data to the HoH.
TIA
Perl Beginner(Bryan)
