I would like to search for a series of patterns, e.g. "error" "failed" etc in a set of log files and display the matching lines from the log files along with the log file name.
The pattern matching is easy enough, I'm just not sure about writing it to a hash and then extracting one key and several values. I know it seems a straightforward job but I have spent quite a long time on it and looked up various modules. The Text-Scan module seems to be what I want but I couldn't get it to compile so I'm looking for other options. http://search.cpan.org/author/IWOODHEAD/Text-Scan-0.15/Scan.pm Anthony English -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
