Just my $0.02... can't help offering a slight rewrite of David's great
program.
Now it's runnable on 5.010 and earlier, and should give out some warnings
if hoststatus sections are somehow corrupt:
$|++; # comment it out if you don't need to buffer the output
my $section_started;
my ($host, $state);
while(<DATA>) {
if ($section_started) {
$host = $1, next if /host_name=(\w+)/;
$state = $1, next if /current_state=(\d+)/;
if (/^\s*}\s*$/) {
print defined $host && defined $state
? "$host:$state\n"
: "Invalid section started at $section_started\n";
$section_started = 0;
}
}
else {
$section_started = $., ($host, $state) = () if /hoststatus\s*{/;
}
}
