Help to find string and return following characters from list of files
Hi,
I'm fairly new to UNIX, but hopefully some-one can help me with this:
I am using the following code to find files with the name "example.xml":
that would print me a list like the example here:
./dir1/dir2/example.xml
./dira/dirb/example.xml
now here's the riddle for you guys; I want to be able to search in each file returned for the string "Version" and return the following x amount of characters or just that line where the pattern is matched if that is easier.
Can I get some help on this please, I have looked at the many post with similar questions and have tried the solutions and they are not working for my scenario which is:
I have a text file (myfile) that contains
b_log=$g_log/FILENAME.log
echo "Begin processing file FILENAME " >> $b_log

file::find::rule::procedural
File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3)NAME
File::Find::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of things
that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^

Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
