Hi Perl GURUs,
I have a json file that needs parsing.
Here is a typical string I’m searching for. I want to delete everything but the
last 2 character “],”.
],
[
"ansible",
"2.1.0.0-1ppa~trusty",
false
],
Here is what I tried:
I slurp the whole file into a variable.
my $SAVE = $/;
my $WHOLE_JSON_FILE = `cat ${JSON_FILE}`;
$/ = $SAVE;
while($WHOLE_JSON_FILE !~ /.*?(\s+\]\,\s+\[\s+\"ansible\".*?)\]\,?/gs)
{
print "\$1 is $1";
}
The print statement is printing out the “matching string” but how do I remove
that section of string from the slurp $WHOLE_JSON_FILE variable which contains
the entire file content?
