Hello everyone,
I'm parsing a Logwatch report I get daily from my server and have hit
a snag. I'd like to grab everything between the "pam_unix Begin" line
and the "pam_unix End" line.
--------------------- pam_unix Begin ------------------------
sshd:
Invalid Users:
Unknown Account: 17 Time(s)
Authentication Failures:
admin (ym74043.ym.edu.tw ): 4 Time(s)
root (ym74043.ym.edu.tw ): 3 Time(s)
unknown (ym74043.ym.edu.tw ): 17 Time(s)
---------------------- pam_unix End -------------------------
The code I have is (assuming the entire report is in $body):
$body =~ /
\-+\spam_unix\sBegin\s\-+
\((.*)\s*\) #matchline
\-+\spam_unix\sEnd\s\-+
/sx;
This is where the .. range operator is useful:
while (defined( my $line = <INPUT> )) {
if ( /-+ pam_unix Begin -+/ .. /-+ pam_unix End -+/ ) {
# between beginning and end
}
}
See `perldoc perlop`, section "Range Operators"
