Hi,
Hello,
I have a list of element in array that I would like to match the
pattern in logs file. I have hard time take element from array and
matching it. More then weeks now and don't know where to find in man
page.
perldoc -q "How do I efficiently match many regular expressions at once"
please help me. Here is my code.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
open ( FILE, " /var/log/cisco.log " ) || die "can't open cisco.log
file!";
@cisco.log = <FILE>;
close (FILE);
@array = qw( BPDUGUARD FAN_FAIL ); # more then 2 elements in array
while (<@cisco.log>){
That is *not* how you read lines from a file. Remove:
@cisco.log = <FILE>;
close (FILE);
from above and then your while loop should be:
while ( <FILE> ) {
foreach $line (@array){
$_ =~ $line; #DOESN'T WORK AND I AM STUCK..
You are performing the match in void context so it is superfluous. See
the FAQ entry above for how to do it.
print "$_\n"; #WANT TO PRINT THAT MATCH
}
}
