Hi,
Try this -
First, tie your file to an array and 'grep' the lines you wish into a new array.
(that's your "cat defines.h | grep 42")
Second, print the field you wish from each line.
(that's your "awk '{print $2}'")
use Tie::File;
tie @array, 'Tie::File', "defines.h" || die;
my @lines = grep /42/, @array;
untie @array;
foreach (@lines)
{
split;
print $_[1]; # = AWK's $2
}
BTW, your awk code can be written without the use of pipes, grep & cat (and will probably work faster this way):
awk '/42/ {print $2}' defines.h
Enjoy,
Mickey

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
