Guys,
Hello,
I am new to perl, I am having trouble capturing the required output from
the command, with my limited knowlege i tried to put something togather. not
sure how to proceed beyond.
In a regular expression, when you want to capture part of a pattern you
have to enclose that part in parentheses.
What i am trying to achieve
for certain drives ex : B3494_901, B3494_102 from the outputlist is to find
the index number ex: 19 for drive B3494_102 as in the output below
then collect the different index number for these selected drives in a
variable $idx = 1:2:19:5
then i can use the $idx inside the command 'tpconfig -multiple_delete
-drive $idx '
Any help would be much appericiated.
Script
use strict;
use warnings;
my @tpd = `tpconfig -dl`;
my $idx;
my $drv;
foreach my $line (@tpd) {
chomp $line;
#$line =~ m/^Index\s+\d\d/ && do {
$line =~ m/^Index\w+/ && do {
It looks like the pattern you want is more like:
$line =~ /
^ # start of string
\s+ # followed by whitespace
Index # match literal string
\s+ # followed by whitespace
( \d+ ) # match and capture any numerical digits
/x
$idx = $1;
print "$idx \n";
};
$line =~ /^Drive.*\s+\w\d+/ && do {
$line =~ /
^ # start of string
\s+ # followed by whitespace
Drive\ Name # match literal string
\s+ # followed by whitespace
( \w+ ) # match and capture any word characters
/x
$drv =$1;
print "$drv /n";
};
}
( tpconfig -dl )command output below
Drive Name B3494_102
Index 19
NonRewindDrivePath /dev/rmt/23cbn
Type hcart2
Status DOWN
SCSI Protection SR (Global)
Shared Access Yes
TLH(0) IBM Device Number=974680
Serial Number 000007897468
Different Drives
Drive Name B3494_901
Drive Name B3494_100
Drive Name B3494_102
