Full Discussion: save every line in log file with matched string

Too many un-necessary nested foreach. From what I can see, the outer foreach for each entry in password and the inner foreach for each line in cisco is sufficient. Why do you have to repeatedly keep doing foreach even for opening and closing files?

What do you mean by "foreach ($line =~ $string)"? Why can't you write it as "if($line =~ $string)" and do what you need to do within the if block?

There are many other issues but you may want to sort out the above problems first and see if that makes the process less demanding.

EXIGREP(8)                                                    System Manager's Manual                                                   EXIGREP(8)

NAME

       EXIGREP - Search Exim's main log

SYNOPSIS

       exigrep [-l] pattern [log file] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  exigrep  utility  is  a  Perl script that searches one or more main log files for entries that match a given pattern.  When it finds a
       match, it extracts all the log entries for the relevant message, not just those that match the pattern.  Thus, exigrep can extract complete
       log entries for a given message, or all mail for a given user, or for a given host, for example.

       The -l flag means 'literal', that is, treat all characters in the pattern as standing for themselves.  Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl
       regular expression.  The pattern match is case-insensitive.  If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.

       If the location of a zcat command is known from the definition of ZCAT_COMMAND in Local/Makefile, exigrep  automatically  passes  any  file
       whose name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through zcat as it searches it.

BUGS

       This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
       would be greatly appreciated.
