Bug How to script to find the newer date in a text file?

Hi,
I have a text file, foo.txt, it looks something like below. In the file there is a line that gives the date in the form of: Mon Jun 15 11:09:31 2008. I need to find which date is the newest and then store certain details of that list data to another file. So, in this sample text file, I need the data from add, mob and tele from List #1 into another file called foo1.txt because List # 1 is the newest and those three attributes are the only ones I ever need.


foo.txt:
Code:
List  #            Name
-----           ------------------
4                george
6                george
5                george
1                george

List  #: 4
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 11:09:31 2008

List #: 6
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 11:10:31 2008

List #: 5
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 11:11:31 2008

List #: 1
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6

NAME
AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::Registration - Handles all tasks of in band registration SYNOPSIS
my $con = AnyEvent::XMPP::Connection->new (...); $con->reg_cb (stream_pre_authentication => sub { my ($con) = @_; my $reg = AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::Registration->new (connection => $con); $reg->send_registration_request (sub { my ($reg, $form, $error) = @_; if ($error) { # error handling } else { my $af = $form->try_fillout_registration ("tester", "secret"); $reg->submit_form ($af, sub { my ($reg, $ok, $error, $form) = @_; if ($ok) { # registered successfully! $con->authenticate } else { # error if ($form) { # we got an alternative form! # fill it out and submit it with C<submit_form> again } } }); } }); 0 }); DESCRIPTION
This module handles all tasks of in band registration that are possible and specified by XEP-0077. It's mainly a helper class that eases some tasks such as submitting and retrieving a form. METHODS
new (%args) This is the constructor for a registration object. connection This must be a AnyEvent::XMPP::Connection (or some other subclass of that) object. This argument is required. send_registration_request ($cb) This method sends a register form request. $cb will be called when either the form arrived or an error occured. The first argument of $cb is always $self. If the form arrived the second argument of $cb will be a AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::RegisterForm object. If an error occured the second argument will be undef and the third argument will be a AnyEvent::XMPP::Error::Register object. For hints how AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::RegisterForm should be filled out look in XEP-0077. Either you have legacy form fields, out of band data or a data form. See also try_fillout_registration in AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::RegisterForm. send_unregistration_request ($cb) This method sends an unregistration request. For description of the semantics of the callback in $cb plase look in the description of the "submit_form" method below. send_password_change_request ($username, $password, $cb) This method sends a password change request for the user $username with the new password $password. For description of the semantics of the callback in $cb plase look in the description of the "submit_form" method below. submit_form ($form, $cb) This method submits the $form which should be of type AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::RegisterForm and should be an answer form. $con is the connection on which to send this form. $cb is the callback that will be called once the form has been submitted and either an error or success was received. The first argument to the callback will be the AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::Registration object, the second will be a boolean value that is true when the form was successfully transmitted and everything is fine. If the second argument is false then the third argument is a AnyEvent::XMPP::Error::Register object. If the error contained a data form which is required to successfully make the request then the fourth argument will be a AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::RegisterForm which you should fill out and send again with "submit_form". For the semantics of such an error form see also XEP-0077. AUTHOR
