Search Results

So I'm using the tmpfile solution as already discussed in this thread. But What I'm currently doing is using 2 Find commands, 1 which finds everything with mtime in between the 2 temp files and the...

ahh it is working but the search im doing is only searching the first line

2007/05/25 15:51:36.958117 sdfsdfsdf sdfdsfds-sdfds Trace name: STRINGB
sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdff
sdfsdfsdfsdfsd...

I mean if I add STRINGC

if ( $_ ge "2007/05/25 16:05" && $_ le "2007/05/25 16:08" && /STRINGC/ && /STRINGB/ ) {

It doesnt work, what am i doing wrong?

I have a load of logfiles,

Jul 6 08:03 MSG_sdf_sdfsdfsd_sdfsdf_070705_181255.gz
Jul 6 14:03 MSG_sdf_sdfsdf_sdfdsfsdf_070705_224108.gz...

back again

while( <FILE> )
{
if ( $_ ge "2007/05/25 16:05" && $_ le "2007/05/25 16:08" && /STRINGB/ ) {
$results = $results . $_;
$flag=3;
}
...

yeah, seems to be working, great.

Your a credit to this forum anbu23, thanks.

I want to run a script which filters out the contents of the file by:
Date
Time
String

But I want it to also filter out time ranges!

Here is log file:

2007/05/25 15:51:36.958117 sdfsdfsdf...

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use XML::Simple;

use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday tv_interval);

use File::Path;

$xml = new XML::Simple;

$xml1 = new XML::Simple;...

$results = $results . $_ if ( ( $_ ge "$date $time" && $_ le "$date2 $time2" ) || m/$sap/ )

The code above is returning everything again and being filtered? Where using & instead of || seems to...

and also, currently this only returns the line of text which the match appears on. I need to get the next 2 lines also. What is that code? thanks

Adding the & m/$sap/ works for matching other text in the file also, u agree?

open FILE , $log;

while( <FILE> )

{
$results = $results . $_ if ( $_ ge "$date $time" && $_ le "$date2...

the log file actually contains more than just the date and time of course

2007/05/25 15:51:36.957753 dsfsdf dsfdfdf-sdfdfdf Trace name: sfsdfdsf

So shall i just add .* after the time like with...

just realised this is not working at all, just gives me back every line and not filtering by the date and time etc

runing:

perl -ne ' print if ( $_ >="2007/05/20 15:13" && $_ <= "2007/08/19...

ahh ok I get it. Last question now hopefully.

I already have assigned a variable to the name of the log = $log

so instead of the while (<>) which is just reading from the argument, how can I...

In the above code, where I am specifying my log file to read from, in your previous codes "filename"?

oh where has reading in the file gone?

OK, that also works from the command prompt.

But I am trying to incorporate it into my script so therefore:

I need to assign the results of the search to a variable.
Do I need to assign to...

hmm yes......anyway

I dont know how, hence asking here.

yes is working in the shell (command prompt) but not when running as part of perl script?.

How can I incorporate that into my perl script?

im using, is this compatible:
SuSE Linux 9.3 (i586)
VERSION = 9.3

'$0>=from&&$0<=to' is ensuring that the $0 is in between the from and 2 dates specified.

How can I run this in perl?

Im...

Hi

Currently I can grep a log file with the following command:

$results = `grep -A 2 '^$date.$time.*' $log`;

and the following arguments:

$date = 2007/04/25
$time = 16:07
