Sorry for not being correct the first time.

I have made the modifications

( Its not tested )

Hopefully, this should work now ! Smilie

Code:
#using a variable to keep track of the previously processed file
my $prev = "";

open(OUTPUT, ">>", "output.txt");

while (1) {

#Make it as ever running process

$file = `ls -lrt | awk '/SMSCDR/ { before = curr; curr = \$9 }END{ print before }'`; 

#select the file which is last but one
#include one more check, 

whether we are attempting to process an already processed file or not
next if ( $file =~ /tmp/ || $file eq $prev );

#if its the 'tmp' file dumper process is still active so don't process it else continue processing

open (FILE, "<", $file) or die  "Unable to open file $file <$!> \n";

#open the file and start processing

while(<FILE>) {
chomp;
my @arr = split(/></);
foreach (@arr) {
if( /xml version/ ) {
$c++;
print OUTPUT "\n";
}
if( />/ && /</ ) {
if( $c == 1 ) {
s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/1|2/;
my($tmp1, $tmp2) = split(/|/);
$data .= (" " . $tmp2);
printf OUTPUT "%s ", $tmp1;
}
else {
s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/2/;
printf OUTPUT "%s ", $_;
}
}
}
print OUTPUT "\n";
print OUTPUT "$data\n" if( /xml version/i );
}

close (FILE);

#Assign the current processed file to the prev variable, 
#so that previously processed file is stored in prev
$prev = $file;

#continue with while loop, by this time dumper process might have completed and next file ready for processing
}

close(OUTPUT);

exit 0;

Power Parse String in XML file

Hello All,

I am new to this and I need to parse an XML file.

Here's the XML Input File:
<Report version="1.2">
<summary fatals="0" testcases="1" expected_fails="0" unexpected_passes="0" warnings="9" tests="21" errors="0" fails="1" passes="20" />
<testresult line="../shared/scripts/addElement.js:573" message="Add Network Element [ Tampines ] successfully created" result="PASS" time="2007-12-13T16:23:47" />
</Report version>

The expected output should be:
Report

summary fatals=0 testcases=1 expected_fails=0 unexpected_passes=0 warnings=9 tests=21 errors=0 fails=1 passes=20

PASS -- Add Network Element [ Tampines ] successfully created


Can you help me with the script to have the output?


Thanks in advance.

Hi Matrixmadhan,

I'm working on another script. Basically it's somehow the same with the previous xml but the problem is some of the parameters have space between > <. Please see sample below. Hope you can help me again. Thanks again in advance!

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?><message><sbr version="1.0"><appid>Messaging</appid><custid>adm_root_provider</custid><callid>032147109</callid> <trmid>5</trmid><portid>16</portid> <callstart>12/11/2007 15:16:46</callstart><callend>12/11/2007 15:17:30</callend><chstart>12/11/2007 15:16:47</chstart><chend>12/11/2007 15:17:30</chend><type>1</type><status>0</status><called>
</called><callreturnused></callreturnused><nonsubused>0</nonsubused></sbr></message><?xml version="1.0"?>

Script that we used before:

Code:
#! /usr/local/bin/perl 

my $c = 0;

open(OUTPUT, ">>", "result.txt");
#chomp(@inputfayl = `cat file.txt`);
chomp(@inputfayl = `ls -lrt | awk '/SMSR/ { before = curr; curr = \$9 }END{ print before }'`);
#system("echo $inputfayl >> newfile.txt");
# if (compare("newfile.txt","oldfile.txt") == 0) {
   while (<@inputfayl>) {
      if (/SMSR/) {
        $inputfayl=$_;
        system("echo $inputfayl >> newfile.txt");
          use File::Compare;
           if (compare("newfile.txt","oldfile.txt") == 1) {
          print OUTPUT "$inputfayl ##########################################################################################\n";
          &processi; 
      }
      else {
      print "wala";
      system("rm newfile.txt");

    }
    }
}
sub processi { 
open inputfayl or die "Cannot open file for read :$!";

while(<inputfayl>) {
  chomp;
    my @arr = split(/></);
    foreach (@arr) {
    if( /xml version/ ) {
      $c++;
      print OUTPUT "\n";
    }
    if( />/ && /</ ) {
      if( $c == 1 ) {
        s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/\1|\2/;
        my($tmp1, $tmp2) = split(/\|/);
        $data .= (" " . $tmp2);
        printf OUTPUT "%s ", $tmp1;
      }
      else {
        s/(.*)>(.*)<.*$/\2/;
        printf OUTPUT "%s ", $_;
      }
    }
  }
  print OUTPUT "\n";
  print OUTPUT "$data\n" if( /xml version/i );
}

close inputfayl;

system("rm oldfile.txt");
system("mv newfile.txt oldfile.txt");
#exit 0
}
exit 0
