Programming :: Perl - Writing To File - Keep Open Or Only During Write?
May 24, 2011
i am working on this thread: [URL] if it is better to open a file every time i need to write to it or should i keep a file open the whole time and when i am done with the script, close it and sendmail it out?
Or i just thought of this: i could keep concatenating to a string and just sendmail when done.

There is the Archive::Zip I think I can use with Perl 5.10 but I don't know how. I don't want to read or write any files, just zip something in memory, with best compression, like
$text = "this is a test";
$zippedtext = &Zip($text);
sub Zip {
[code]...
I guess it's only a few lines.

I am using File::Find to go through a very large tree. I am looking for all xml files and open only those that contain a tag <Updated>. I then want to capture the contents of two tags <Old> and <New>.
My problem is, after I open the file and do the first grep for <Updated> (which does work), I am unable to grep again unless I close the file and open it.
I did something like this:
Quote:
find(&check, $dir);
sub check {
if ($_ =~ /.xml/){
open(FILE,"$_");
if (grep{/Updated/} <FILE>){ # <-- works

I just noticed on my Ubuntu machine (ext3 filesystem) that removing write permissions from a file does not keep root from writing to it. Is this a general rule of UNIX file permissions? Or specific to Ubuntu? Or a misconfiguration on my machine? Writing to the file fails (as expected) if I do this from my normal user account.Is this normal behavior?Is there a way to prevent root from accidentally writing to a file (Preferably using normal filesystem mechanisms, not AppArmor, etc.)
I understand that root has total control over the system and can, eg, change the permissions on any file.My question is whether currently set permissions are enforced on code running as root. The idea is the root user preventing her/himself from accidentally writing to a file. also understand that one should not be logged in as root for normal operations.

am running Centos 5.4 and would like to write a small perl script to collect some info from mysql.
so I went
yum install perl-DBI
yum install perl-DBD-mysql
then
nano perl.pl
---
#!/bin/perl
use Mysql;
[Code].....
Why can't perl find Mysql.pm? I guess because it doesn't exist as I ran find / -name Mysql.pm, and also could not find it.
shouldn't that file have been created and thus exist after I install perl-DBD-mysql?

My program need to monitor the foler to know which file under the folder is being opened/created for writing. I add the folder into watch list using inotify_add_watch, when a file -- say 'AA' -- is created, I'll get the event through read api call. But the inotify_event only have file name 'AA' and a event mask. these parameters can't help me to know how the 'AA' is created/openned. So I have to scan the /proc folder to get to know how is 'AA' created/openned. I don't think this is a efficient way, especially if there are lots of files are openned/created in a short time span.

I have a log file (test.log) starting & ending within dash (--) as below. I am looking to write a parser for test.log. This test.log file currently has single value for one Job ID but I wish to parse for repeated N values of different Job ID - Job, User, Queue, Dispatched Date, Dispatched Time, Completed Date, Completed Time, Hosts/Processor, CPU_T and TURNAROUND. I can either output this 10 values in another .log file or dump into cgi.
The selected parameters from test.log for parsing with above 10 attributes are -
--
Job <345010>
User <xyz>
Queue <gaussian>

I have an html file like this
HTML Code:
Some more HTML code... I would like to cut the above text so i get this: Sometext on multiple lines like this.Sometext on multiple lines like this.Sometext on multiple lines like this. Sometext on multiple lines like this.Sometext on multiple lines like this.
There are other HTML files with similar cuts I need to do, but once I have the method for doing one, I am sure I can do the others.
I think the two logical strings to cut between would be:
I am not sure if these strings are always the start and end of the line respectively, is this makes a lot of difference! Then the HTML tags would need to be stripped to get the text on its own.
I know the commands for removing tags, but searching for a string like class="IOSSectionTitle", and cutting everything before it etc is something I am finding challenging.
Just thought I would add that the HTML does not nec. appear on logical new lines throughout the file and there may be unexpected new lines, but as far as i know the class="IOSSectionTitle" and <img always appears as a string without any new lines between those characters.

I am trying to read certain lines within a file and give the output of the certain lines that dont equal my value, I think showing you would be easier. There is multiples of these inside one file...
Code:
LV Name /dev/vg00/lvol1
LV Status available/syncd
LV Size (Mbytes) 300lable/syncd
[code]....
I want to read everything in the file, if the status is not available then it should display the name (directly above status). If they are all availbale then do nothing. I think I know how to do it which includes putting the info in string form and placing in hash but it is proving to be out of my skill range.

I have question about replacing a string in a file.
How can I replace the printerb's 10.1.1.1 to something else(10.1.1.2, for example) without replace printera's 10.1.1.1 accidentally?
I have tried perl -e -pi "s/10.1.1.1/10.1.1.2/g" /etc/hosts. but, perl replace both 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.2.

I'm new to UNIX scripting; I�m stuck with the following I have an Oracle SQL script that takes three parameters
1- File Name
2- File Path
3- File creation date
Under UNIX I have a folder where files will be placed frequently and I need to upload those files to Oracle, what I need is a UNIX script that can do the following
Loop through Directory "/home/applmgr/snktmp"
Picks only files
Pass the file name to parameter &1
[code]....
Is the above possible? I already knows how to call the Oracle Script from UNIX Im only stuck on writing the UNIX part where it List the files attribute(name,path,date) and store them to parameters ,Looping until the last file in the directory If the above is not possible,then how can I create the below from the command line
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate

I have a file looks like the following:
digraph topology
{
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.11"[label="1.000", style=solid];
"192.168.3.254" -> "10.1.1.12"[label="1.000", style=solid];
[code]...
Order of these lines are random... So I cannot delete line #19, for example... And you can see that top four lines I want to delete are pairs. So there might be some clever way to detect the lines, if a line has both "1.9" and "1.11", then delete the line... I am new to perl language. The following is the code I have now... I think I just need to write some code inside the while loop checking if I want to delete the line $dotline before I write to a NEW file.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$TOPPATH = "/tmp";
$NAME = "topology";
$FILENAME = "$TOPPATH/$NAME.dot";

So this is my code:
Code:
Modification of code I found here. It works, but I don't really know why.
Q1: Why is each filter hit counted only when the conditional is not true?
Q2: I've tried taking the file type, (.old), and put it into a variable for better usability, but then the script fails.

I am trying to make a perl script which reads data from a file and parse it. The data in the file has the following syntax
Code:
Device Physical Name : Not Visible
Device Symmetrix Name : 1234
Device Serial ID : N/A
Attached BCV Device : N/A
Device Capacity
[Code]...
Each unique record starts with "Device Physical Name". So, I have a set of records within "Device Physical Name". I want to read this set of records starting from "Device Physical Name" and ends up till next "Device Physical Name". Offcourse FS is ":", and I just want to print/or later put info in a csv file.
