The following code is what I used to check if item number could be detected for the file I sent in the earlier email.
Did you send email to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] address? If the message in the user part of the address isn't sufficient, I can tell you that I never received your message. ;-)
The code seems to have failed and need a advise on it..
#!C:\perl\bin\perl5.6.1
Where is
use strict;
use warnings;??
$file1 = ' C:\perl\bin\dummy.txt' ;
------------^
??
my $file1 = 'C:\perl\bin\dummy.txt';open (INFO, "< $file1 ") or die "Can't open $file: $1"; while (<INFO>)
I don't think it's a good approach to read the file line by line. I would slurp it into a scalar variable.
$_ = do { local $/; <INFO> };{
if ($test = ~ "/2\.2\./d+\./d+\./d+"){
What on earth is that??
- When and how was $test populated?
- The =~ operator does not include any space.
- You haven't even learned the most basics about Perl regular expressions, have you? Please start studying
perldoc perlrequick
The file is of the following format:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2.4.3.4 XXXXXXX This is test of test for use by Sunny: 1 as stated in 2.2.5.6.1 2.2.5.6.9 YYYYYYYYYY Note 2: This function consolidates a number of former sections from 3.2.4. for use by Sunny: 2 as discussed in 2.1.2.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The file shows two items start with 2.2.* and additional detail underneath it such as Sunny: 1 for 2.2.4.3.4 or Sunny: 2 for 2.2.5.6.9. I want to be able to break the file capturing its item number along with number for Sunny: for each of the listed item number. The item number always starts in the beginning of line.
Assuming you have slurped the file into the $_ variable, you should be able to build a regex and do something like this:
print "Segment: $1 - Sunny: $2\n" while /$re/g;
But first you must of course learn how to write a regex... Besides the suggested docs above, you may want to check out the qr// operator in "perldoc perlop".
Good luck!
