Hi balajesuri,
Thank you for providing a solution.
In this case can you explain why the question mark is needed in (?!Clear)
I understand that !Clear means do not match clear, but would like some clarification on ? preceding it.
Thanks.

Dear balajesuri,
I have found the solution after checking further online, posting here for others to have a look.
(?!) is a regex construct known as negative lookahead.
example: match a q not followed by a u. Negative lookahead provides the solution: q(?!u). The negative lookahead construct is the pair of parentheses, with the opening parenthesis followed by a question mark and an exclamation point.
Reference:

However I just noticed the machine on which I need to execute this script does not support "grep -P." Can you help me out with an alternative solution? (sed/awk) is ok.
Thanks.

poe::filter::grep
POE::Filter::Grep(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation POE::Filter::Grep(3pm)
NAME
POE::Filter::Grep - select or remove items based on simple rules
SYNOPSIS
#!perl
use POE qw(
Wheel::FollowTail
Filter::Line Filter::Grep Filter::Stackable
);
POE::Session->create(
inline_states => {
_start => sub {
my $parse_input_as_lines = POE::Filter::Line->new();
my $select_sudo_log_lines = POE::Filter::Grep->new(
Put => sub { 1 },
Get => sub {
my $input = shift;
return $input =~ /sudo[d+]/i;
},
);
my $filter_stack = POE::Filter::Stackable->new(
Filters => [
$parse_input_as_lines, # first on get, last on put
$select_sudo_log_lines, # first on put, last on get
]
);
$_[HEAP]{tailor} = POE::Wheel::FollowTail->new(
Filename => "/var/log/system.log",
InputEvent => "got_log_line",
Filter => $filter_stack,
);
},
got_log_line => sub {
print "Log: $_[ARG0]
";
}
}
);
POE::Kernel->run();
exit;
DESCRIPTION
POE::Filter::Grep selects or removes items based on simple tests. It may be used to filter input, output, or both. This filter is named
and modeled after Perl's built-in grep() function.
POE::Filter::Grep is designed to be combined with other filters through POE::Filter::Stackable. In the "SYNOPSIS" example, a filter stack
is created to parse logs as lines and remove all entries that don't pertain to a sudo process. (Or if your glass is half full, the stack
only selects entries that DO mention sudo.)
PUBLIC FILTER METHODS
In addition to the usual POE::Filter methods, POE::Filter::Grep also supports the following.
new
new() constructs a new POE::Filter::Grep object. It must either be called with a single Code parameter, or both a Put and a Get parameter.
The values for Code, Put, and Get are code references that, when invoked, return true to select an item or false to reject it. A Code
function will be used for both input and output, while Get and Put functions allow input and output to be filtered in different ways. The
item in question will be passed as the function's sole parameter.
sub reject_bidoofs {
my $pokemon = shift;
return 1 if $pokemon ne "bidoof";
return;
}
my $gotta_catch_nearly_all = POE::Filter::Grep->new(
Code => &reject_bidoofs,
);
Enforce read-only behavior:
my $read_only = POE::Filter::Grep->new(
Get => sub { 1 },
Put => sub { 0 },
);
modify
modify() changes a POE::Filter::Grep object's behavior at run-time. It accepts the same parameters as new(), and it replaces the existing
tests with new ones.
# Don't give away our Dialgas.
$gotta_catch_nearly_all->modify(
Get => sub { 1 },
Put => sub { return shift() ne "dialga" },
);
