Hi Everyone, This is my first post to the list.... Please be gentle :)
Just so we are all clear... I am completely lost right from the start with this one. It is far beyond my current Perl skills and I need some serious help :) I want to create a script that searches file_b for the first entry in file_a (router1 in the below example) and once it finds it I would like it to change the next occurrence of "Parent Submap: Any string" to "Parent Submap: second entry in file_a (site1 in the below example)" It would also need to be case-insensitive. Can anyone give me a huge push in the right direction? Thank you. -Chris ------------------------------------- External files: file_a - list of routers and their location Eg: router1,site1 file_b - output from an openview map export, contains 1000's of entries like the below example. Eg: SYMBOL: ROUTER1 Object Type: 4 Parent Submap: IP Internet Symbol Type: Cisco Router:cisco-Rtr1720Family Label: ROUTER1 Symbol Position: 1:11764x11691+7126+653 Hidden Value: FALSE Submap Exists: TRUE Background Graphics: Layout Style: 2 Layout On: TRUE Submap Overlay: TRUE Show Connection Labels: FALSE END SYMBOL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
