How about collecting the information, then printing the record when you get to one of the '-----' lines? (This assumes all records -- even the last one -- end with a '-----' line.)

The following code reads from __DATA__ and writes its (tab delimited) records to the screen; you would probably want to open your log file for processing (open(LF,"$logFile")), and write to a results file (open(OF,">$outputFile")).

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $gCurRec; foreach(qw(name to file action virus)) { $gCurRec->{$_}=''; } while(<DATA>) { $gCurRec->{name}=$1 if (/^From:\s*(.+?)\s*$/); $gCurRec->{to}=$1 if (/^To:\s*(.+?)\s*$/); $gCurRec->{file}=$1 if (/^File:\s*(.+?)\s*$/); $gCurRec->{action}=$1 if (/^Action:\s*(.+?)\s*$/); $gCurRec->{virus}=$1 if (/^Virus:\s*(.+?)\s*$/); if (/^-----/) { print $gCurRec->{name},"\t", $gCurRec->{to},"\t", $gCurRec->{file},"\t", $gCurRec->{action},"\t", $gCurRec->{virus},"\n"; foreach(qw(name to file action virus)) { $gCurRec->{$_}=''; } } } __DATA__ From: pminich@foo.com To: esquared@foofoo.com File: value.scr Action: The uncleanable file is deleted. Virus: WORM_KLEZ.H ---------------------------------- Date: 06/30/2002 00:01:21 From: mef@mememe.com To: inet@microsoft.com File: Nr.pif Action: The uncleanable file is deleted. Virus: WORM_KLEZ.H ----------------------------------

Comment: One other thing I found I like is opening files with three parameters. For example, instead of:

open(OF,">$outputFile") || die;

I use:

open(OF,'>',$outputFile) || die;

I hope this helps! *Smiles*

Update:

Now that I have re-read my code, I should have made

qw(name to file action virus)

a constant so it was defined but one place, and should have made the field separator a constant as well. This would simplify changes to the code. (Not that it is critical on such a small program, but it is a good practice... well, for me at least.)

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.
