Hey all... Does anyone have any snippets lying around that will work like grep? I know there's a built-in grep statement in Perl, but the Camel book doesn't give a good enough example for me to use. Basically, I want to (via a web page) grep for any information that may be contained in a password file entry: username, last name, phone number, etc. using one field in a form and return all instances of the search information entered back to a new web page. I have a finger script that I have built, but I haven't successfully been able to modify it, and it is too specific. For instance, I would like the search term "johnson" to match the following: johnson:x:111:111:Robert James,,555-1212:/home/users/johnson:/bin/passwd mylogin:x:112:111:President Johnson,,123-4567:/home/users/mylogin:/bin/passwd johnsond:x:113:111:Bill Rich,,654-3210:/home/users/johnsond:/bin/passwd Any takers on this?
