Hey guys (and gals, I imagine!), I'm really new to perl. I've been working through some beginners tutorials and now I need (want!) to use perl to overhaul something I wrote in the past. I've got a script (in bash) that I use that has a particular sed command in it. The command is as follows:
sed -n '/System Temperatures/,/==*/p' FILENAME The file in question has text that looks like this: <<BEGIN FILE SAMPLE>> No failures found in System =========================== ========================= Environmental Status ========================= System Temperatures (Celsius): ------------------------------- Device Temperature Status --------------------------------------- CPU0 65 OK CPU1 63 OK CPU2 64 OK CPU3 63 OK MB 35 OK IOB 30 OK DBP0 32 OK ================================= Front Status Panel: ------------------- Keyswitch position: NORMAL <<END FILE SAMPLE>> (obviously, this is output from the Sun Solaris' prtdiag -v command!) I want to collect just the temperature data from this file, so I use the above sed command to pull out only the lines: <<BEGIN SAMPLE>> System Temperatures (Celsius): ------------------------------- Device Temperature Status --------------------------------------- CPU0 65 OK CPU1 63 OK CPU2 64 OK CPU3 63 OK MB 35 OK IOB 30 OK DBP0 32 OK ================================= <<END SAMPLE>> What I'm looking for is a graceful way to do this in a perl script. I'm kinda at a loss for where to begin. Can you help me out?
