Dave,
Like I said before this is the first question I had related to perl in years so
I didn't have a list to quickly post to. On the other hand there's a range of
technology related to various subject (eg Samba, LDAP, SENDMAIL, etc) that are
commonly asked here.
I had tried several variations including the \d+ but could not understand why it
wasn't matching. Once I took the $ out I started getting hits. I also had
changed the \w* to .*.
The one problem I still had was a hidden character ^M but I ended up getting it
to work with the following (could still probably clean it up):
if ($raw =~
/(^<\d\d\d>)(\w\w\w)\s+(\d\d)\s+(\d\d\d\d)\s*(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d):\s+(%\w\w\w-\d+-\d+):\s+(\w.*)\s/s
)
This took care of the ^M which now brings me to my next problem. I reformatted
the file to import into a MySQL database that I'm going to create. Does anyone
know if there will be a problem with the last field because there are several
single (') in the field?
('<165>', '2004-10-01', '19:57:52', '%PIX-5-111008', 'User 'enable_15' executed
the 'logging trap 5' command.' ),
The last field: 'User 'enable_15' executed the 'logging trap 5' command.'
I'm hoping that it won't but if anyone can tell me I'd appreciate it.
Thanks Dave
