Perl Pattern Matching
Hello experts,

I have a file containing the following text(shortened here).
Code:
File Begin
 
-----[31-32 changed to 31-32]-----
< # Billboard.d3fc1302a677.imagePath=S:\\efcm_T4
< Billboard.d3fc1302a677.imagePath=S:\\efcm_T4
---
> # Billboard.d3fc1302a677.imagePath=S:\\efcm_Cassini
> Billboard.d3fc1302a677.imagePath=S:\\efcm_Cassini
 
-----[after 248 inserted 249-266]-----
> 
> # ShowDialogAction.4aa6f5a0a2a1.buttonLabel=OK
> ShowDialogAction.4aa6f5a0a2a1.buttonLabel=OK
> 
> # ShowDialogAction.4aa6f5a0a2a1.cancelButtonLabel=Cancel
> ShowDialogAction.4aa6f5a0a2a1.cancelButtonLabel=Cancel
> 
 
File End

I now need to write a perl script to grep for the header containing 'changed' (here : -----[31-32 changed to 31-32]-----),
and count all the lines only having '>' symbol.
For example: Here i grep for the word 'changed' from the first header and count the lines containing '>'. So the count must be 2.
Similarly for the second match 'inserted', the number of lines will result in 7 with '>' symbol.
Please help me....Thanks in advance.

Code:
local $/="\n\n";
open FH,"<yourfile.txt";
while(<FH>){
  if(/inserted/){
  my $cnt=()=$_=~/(>)/g;
  print $cnt,"\n";
}
}

Thanks cherry for a quick response!!! I actually am trying this:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl 

use Shell;

open THEFILE, "C:\galileo_integration.txt" || die "Couldnt open the file!";

@wholeThing = <THEFILE>;

close THEFILE;



foreach $line (@wholeThing){

  if ($line =~ m/\\0$/){

    @nextThing = $line;

    if ($line =~ s/\\0/\\LATEST/g){
              
      @otherThing = $line;
       	
      @grep_results = qx{cleartool diff -ser @nextThing @otherThing};
            
      print "@grep_results\n";

      $inserted = grep( "inserted" | "/^>$/" | "wc-l", @grep_results);

      print "Number of lines Inserted, $inserted\n";

      $deleted = grep( "deleted" | "/^>/" | "wc-l", @grep_results);

      print "Number of lines Deleted, $deleted\n";

      $changed = grep( "changed" | "/^>/" | "wc-l", @grep_results);

      print "Number of lines Changed, $changed\n";
	
      }
   }
}

Output it gives is:
Code:
Number of lines Inserted, 100
Number of lines Deleted, 100
Number of lines Changed, 100

All gives me the same wordcount, but i want to grep line count based on matching Inserted, Deleted, Changed.

Code:
Number of lines Inserted, 100
Number of lines Deleted, 60
Number of lines Changed, 20

Appreciate your help!!!!
