I have an executable that outputs to STDERR and STDOUT the following:
00 0A EF 85 BA 8F AA BC
(and it keeps going for a while until an end of line character)
I built a perl script I want to pipe this output into. So to run it I would do the
Extractor.exe |& output.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Name: output.pl
#
while (<>)
next if !~ m/([0-9a-f])([0-9a-f]) ([0-9a-f])([0-9a-f])/;
$a = sprintf("%s%s%s%s",$1,$2,$3,$4);
}
This is so ugly! And to do this for my whole "line" of output, I have to do like fifty captures. I was hoping someone had a more efficient way of doing this.
Help please.
Thanks,
S

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).
