Hello,
I work for a newspaper and we are trying to generate a page report from our classified system.
We plan to do this by parsing the "PIL" file that calls all of the elements for pagination.
I need to get all of the "object" sections out of a file, and they are multi-line sections.
The file starts with a line like so:
pageoutput-5.0.1.0:20001201,TD,*,*,,FOO,2; {
Then there is a section that defines the path to the EPS's that make up the section:
name-table {
"DAILY.evo" atex-itf unix-filename "/atexdata/clspag-d
+ataD5/tmp/cpgfol2_018356_00"
"1400.cm1" atex-itf unix-filename "/atexdata/clspag-da
+taD5/furn-content/header/bin/T_1400.cm1"
"1476 .wr1" atex-itf unix-filename "/atexdata/clspag-d
+ataD5/furn-content/header/bin/T_1476.wr1"
"608373" eps unix-filename "/atexdata/clspag-dataD5/ad
+-content/71/1432671"
.........(etc.)
Next section sets up the page dims:
canvas {
user-name "ATEX-CLSPAG:20001201,TD,*,*,,F,2,WHEELS,2;"
+
units 35278
dimensions { 9360 15241 }
application {
app-name "ATEX-REFLEX"
string { last-modified-time "
+20001203:14:24:46" }
string { status "UNDEFINED" }
}
}
And the we have "object" sections for each element:
object {
origin { 0 0 }
dimensions { 9360 130 }
id "DAILY.evo"
user-name "DAILY.evo"
rc-name "DAILY.evo"
application {
app-name "ATEX-FPO-DUMMY-CONTROL"
string { major-type "FRN" }
string { ad-number "DAILY.evo
+" }
}
}
object {
origin { 0 130 }
dimensions { 900 1 }
id "1400.cm1"
user-name "1400.cm1"
rc-name "1400.cm1"
application {
app-name "ATEX-FPO-DUMMY-CONTROL"
string { major-type "FRN" }
string { ad-number "1400.cm1"
+ }
}
}
And these repeat for each ad on the page.
How would I get each of these object sections??
I would like to store them in a hash called %object and key them by the "id" field in the object section.
I also will need to store the object origin and dimension.
example:
%object{1400.cm1;originw} ; # References Origin Width for 1400.cm1
I know this must seem simple to many of you, but I don't really understand stepping through a file and getting this all out.
Thanks for any help. (Didn't see this in TFM, but i might just not know where to look...)

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).
