Hi,
I am looking to write a script that will look in a file for a list of text strings to search for like
req_aaaa req_bbb req_ccc
and search all the files in a subdirectory and below for the string, if it is found, then it prints out the the original string followed by the file name for each instance where it is found. If it gets through all the files and finds none, the it prints out the original string and the Words NOT FOUND.
Thanks for any help, Jim
quiet a simple problem why dont u try the code yourself
the algo may run like this
write a function to get all filenames with respect to current directory into an array
write a function that accepts a filename and returns the the lines that match your string
foreach of the array run the function and print the output
but IMHO doing this in perl does not seem to be the best option If you are using unix like system just try getting grep
Your entire script is over in just one line ` grep -r "$string" * `
Bye Ram
