Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I have a log file which has logs. I am reading logs line by line into perl arrays. I want to print all the arrays elements starting from 8(word) to end of the line.

print array[8]......array[end of log] to a new file. and I have to do it in perl as res of the program in perl.

Please help me on this.

What do you have so far?

here is the log file


-rwxrwxr-x 1 synchadm glbiom 14884864 May 31 2007 d_labs.sas7bdat

I am trying to collect the all the attributes into arrays in perl and print it in diff format ....
The catch here is the file and directory names contain numbers, spaces, special chars also ..

If you have all the lines in @array:

Code:

print @array[7..$#array];

Thanks you.

It worked.. i can print but all i want is to assign it to a variable which helps me to do more processing...

I couldn't assign that value to a variable...

Isn't it a variable already?

If you mean all as one giant text blob, perhaps you could do something like this:

Code:

$var=join('', @array[7..$#array]);

If you have these lines in an @array, then you already have them as variables too, albeit with ugly syntax.
$array[0] is the first
$array[1] is the second
...
$array[$#array] is the last, where $#array is the total number of elements.

Are you trying to only grab the file names out of these lines?
