find file with date and recursive search for a text
Hey Guyz I have a requirement something like this..
a part of file name, date of modification of that file and a text is entered as input.
like
Date : 080206 (MMDDYY format.)
filename : hotel_rates
text : Jim
now the file hotel_rates.ZZZ.123 (creation date is Aug 02 2006) should be found first and then the file should be opened in a read olny mode pointing to the first occurance of text 'Jim' in that file. when we press 'n' the next occurance of Jim should be visible and so on until the EOF. once searching Jim is done when we press q the control should be back to program.
all the files will be located in an archive folder with name /archive
and there'll be files with different dates like
hote_rates.XXX.333 Aug 01 2006
hotel_rates.YYY.222 Jul 30 2006
hotel_rates.ZZZ.123 Aug 02 2006
logistic_rates.ZZZ.123
logistic_rates.SSS.134
Now for the above example the file hotel_rates.ZZZ.123 should be found and it should be pinting to first occurance of Jim in that file after the user enters the input and hits enter.
Let me know if I made myself clear here..
Thanks,
Ronnie

email::date
Email::Date(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Email::Date(3pm)
NAME
Email::Date - Find and Format Date Headers
SYNOPSIS
use Email::Date;
my $email = join '', <>;
my $date = find_date($email);
print $date->ymd;
my $header = format_date($date->epoch);
Email::Simple->create(
header => [
Date => $header,
],
body => '...',
);
DESCRIPTION
RFC 2822 defines the "Date:" header. It declares the header a required part of an email message. The syntax for date headers is clearly
laid out. Stil, even a perfectly planned world has storms. The truth is, many programs get it wrong. Very wrong. Or, they don't include a
"Date:" header at all. This often forces you to look elsewhere for the date, and hoping to find something.
For this reason, the tedious process of looking for a valid date has been encapsulated in this software. Further, the process of creating
RFC compliant date strings is also found in this software.
FUNCTIONS
find_date
my $time_piece = find_date $email;
"find_date" accepts an email message in any format Email::Abstract can understand. It looks through the email message and finds a date,
converting it to a Time::Piece object.
If it can't find a date, it returns false.
"find_date" is exported by default.
format_date
my $date = format_date; # now
my $date = format_date( time - 60*60 ); # one hour ago
"format_date" accepts an epoch value, such as the one returned by "time". It returns a string representing the date and time of the
input, as specified in RFC 2822. If no input value is provided, the current value of "time" is used.
"format_date" is exported by default.
format_gmdate
my $date = format_gmdate;
"format_gmdate" is identical to "format_date", but it will return a string indicating the time in Greenwich Mean Time, rather than
local time.
"format_gmdate" is exported on demand, but not by default.
