parsing

[tozi]

hi all, i'm new to perl so any help would be much appreciated. i need to sort out this few lines(shown below) from a text file and then write to a new text file. i'm pretty confused with the regex.

; Total registers ; 0 ;
; Total pins ; 2 / 635 ( < 1 % ) ;
; Total virtual pins ; 0 ;
; Total block memory bits ; 0 / 6,617,088 ( 0 % ) ;
; DSP block 18-bit elements ; 0 / 384 ( 0 % ) ;
; Total Receiver Channels ; 0 / 8 ( 0 % ) ;
; Total ransmitter Channels ; 0 / 8 ( 0 % ) ;
; Total PLLs ; 0 / 3 ( 0 % ) ;

here's what i've tried:

open(INFILE, 'd:\test.fit.rpt') or die 'error';
open(OUTFILE, ">output.txt") or die 'error';

while($line = <INFILE>)
{
chomp($line);

if ($line =~ m/[^\s]\s(\w+)[^\s]\s(\d)\s[^\s]\s(\d+)\s[^\s](\d)[^\s+]/)
{
print OUTFILE "$line\n";
}

}

close (INFILE);
Close (OUTFILE);

You need to let us know what you are trying to parse out of the lines of text you posted. Then someone can help you with suggestions or code.

what i need is to extract out only a few lines(which is shown as above) from a text file.

you should fix up line 12 of the code above

Close (OUTFILE);

should be

close (OUTFILE);

lowercase your Perl commands.
don't forget Perl is strict.

In fact, make it stricter by always adding:

[code=perl]use strict;
use warnings;[/code]

to the top of your scripts.
