syedasadali95 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am a new monk and struggling with a piece of work. I want to extract data from a string, do addition operation on that data and then substitute the data in the same string. Here is the string I am working on:

chn:req mon:orig cmd:SDP_CMD_WRSIZEDFULL tag:0x3b9aca01 addr:0xdf7780 qospri:0 len:0xf

I want to extract the hexadecimal addr:0xdf7780 value, add 0x500000000 to it and then replace the result in the same string. Here is the piece of code I am using. I am able to print the extracted address values but not able to perform addition to it.

------------------------------------ #!usr/bin/perl unlink("ccix.sdp_trc"); $num = 0x500000000; open (IN_FILE, "$ARGV[0]") or die "Please provide an input file\n"; open (OUT_FILE, ">>ccix.sdp_trc"); while (my $line1 = <IN_FILE>) { if( ($line1 =~ /addr/) ) { $line1 =~ /addr:([a-z0-9-]+)\s+/; print "%$1\n"; my $one = ($num + $1); $line1 =~ s/addr\:0x.*qospri/addr\:$one qospri/; printf OUT_FILE ("$line1"); } else { printf OUT_FILE ("$line1"); } } ----------------------------------------------------
Any help is appreciated!
