CPU & Memory Expected output

Expected output:

In a text file:

Parent1
child1
child2

parent2
child21
child22
child23

parent3

child31
child32
....

***************************************

In the file 'a' and 'b' are the identifiers for the parent and children.

Thanks to you.

I thought of doing something like:

step 1: Grep for parents and then after I get the list of parents {may be in an array}

step 2: I can grep for children with a condition which checks if I hit the first parent from the previously obtained list. When I hit the first parent then save the child list to a text file with the parent name on it.

step 3: Again proceed for the next ones by keeping every thing in a for loop and update the text file every time.


If this algorithm sounds good then the point I am stuck with is step 2.

can you help me out there/ or with any other alternative way.

For this widget, you obtain the list of its children, its parent, and the number of children. parent_return Returns the widget ID of the drop site parent of the specified widget. child_returns Returns a pointer to the list of drop site children associated with the specified widget. The function allocates memory to hold the list. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space.

For a complete definition of DropSite and its associated resources, see XmDropSite(3). RETURN
