Hi,
I have a problem with a script which I am writing for my final thesis. The
thesis must be ready within two weeks, so I would really appreciate if you
could help me. My thesis is about h-node.
The script will deal with two different logs of user actions to figure out
what kind of hardware contributions I have made to h-node. Specifically, I am
trying to count how many contributions I have made per each hardware class.
I have two source files for the script. Both contain lines of data which I am
trying to process. Here are some examples of the content:
Source file 1:
Format: the model DEVICE_NAME has been [updated|inserted] by USER_NAME at
DATE_AND_TIME
the model E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem has been updated by
lammi87 at 22:48, 18 May 2012
Source file 2:
Format: HARDWARE_CLASS DEVICE_NAME
notebook ProBook 6555b
Source file 1 contains most of the stuff I need. The only thing it does not
have is the HARDWARE_CLASS associated with each line, so I have to get it
from the source file 2.
Source file 1 has a line per each contribution I have made but the source
file 2 does not. Even when I make multiple contributions to one device, only
one line containing that DEVICE_NAME is found in the source file 2.
So, I need to count how many times a DEVICE_NAME found in source 2 appears on
source 1 per each HARDWARE_CLASS.
The problem is this:
I don't seem to get the array in my script to work correctly. I am trying to
save all the DEVICE_NAMES (which can contain white spaces and special
characters like ', (, ), [ and ] and extra tabs and white spaces at the end
of each line) to the array as one DEVICE_NAME per each slot in the array by
running a for loop.
Then I will run another for loop within the other one to count how many times
a line containing a particular DEVICE_NAME is present in source 1. The
problem is that no matter what I try, I can't get the array to work.
Sorry for long explanation. Example source files and the script can be found
as attachments below.
