Hi all, Serious noob here (one week into llama 5th ed.).
I'm trying to write a script to pull a specific file from a directory and search that file for specific phrases. I am having a problem searching for the file in the directory. If I type in the actual file name (line 26) I can find the phrase file.zip (line 30). Obviously, this will only work once. If I use a variable to search for a file I get nothing. What is the proper format for line 26? I can't use File::Find so please don't suggest it. Thx. #!/usr/bin/perl 2 use strict; 3 4 my $Log_Dir; 5 my $file; 6 my $Date; 7 my $File_Name; 8 my @array; 9 my $file_name; 10 11 $Log_Dir = "/var/log/apache/"; 12 opendir DH, $Log_Dir or die "Cannot open $Log_Dir: $!"; 13 while ($file = readdir DH){ 14 push(@array, $file); 15 } 16 17 closedir DH; 18 19 $Date = `date --date=yesterday +%Y%m%d0000-2400-0`; 20 # The file name always starts with file111-11-23.abctyu_X but the time stamp changes daily (predictable) 21 # Example Filename: file111-11-23.abctyu_X.200810200000-2400-0 22 $File_Name = "file111-11-23.abctyu_X.$Date"; 23 print $Date; 24 foreach $file_name (@array){ 25 chomp; 26 if ($file_name =~ /$File_Name/){ 27 open LOGFILE, $File_Name; 28 while (<LOGFILE>){ 29 #Search log file for the word file.zip 30 if(/file.zip/){ 31 print "$_\n"; 32 } 33 } 34 } 35 } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
