( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hello All, I am doing some parsing of a file.the file out is read based on horizontal headers which are dynamic based on the machine specifications.I want to parse just devices and names, but not sure how to attribute all the devices to the names. Sample:

name Brian shirt yellow socks black device ipad 2001 device ipad 2001 device ipad 2001 tag no tag 0 name Andrew shirt orange socks black device ipad 2009 tag no tag 0 name ryan shirt blue socks black device ipad 2005 device cell 2009 tag yes tag 1

I have the following so far, but not sure how to get all the devices and year of the device belonging to each name.I can parse for the name

my @file = `cat text.txt`; foreach my $line (@file) { while $line =~ /name \s+(*.?) \s+(.*?)/mgx my $name = $1; }

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
