MessageFrom you log file, I see there a blank line at head,
so remove it first.
Second, I see the location and virus name is warped by 2 line,
is that you made it, or NV did this ? If that's the fact that location
and virus name are warped by itself, you may try this
do
{ $loc = <LOG>;
$virNm = <LOG>;
$virNm =~ s/is infected with the //g;
.... Do something to put the result to an array or hash ....
} until (eof LOG);
Rgds,
Connie

Subject: Regular Expressions and a poorly organized logfile
Hello everyone, first I'd like to say thank you to everyone who responded to my
issue with Avoiding Duplicate Entries. I took the advice given and found a solution.
Thank you very much!
My latest problem has to do with regular expressions and the logfile that Norton
Antivirus 2002 creates. I've attached the Norton activity.log. I would like some
advice as to how to go about parsing this file and making some sense of it. I'd like
to somehow pull out the virus name, path and whatever else I can. I'm not even 100%
sure if regular expressions are the way to go. Any and all assistance is greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
