( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Well, I don't know how is the exact rule for the dn, but I'd do it about the following way:
open (FH, $filename) or die ... local $/ = "\n\n"; # read objects, not lines while (<FH>) { chomp($_); # remove \n\n at the end of the object s/\n //g; # care for continuation lines, e.g. kill them my @tmpLines = split(/\n\n/, $_); my %data = (); foreach my $line (@tmpLines) { my ($attr, $value) = split(/\s*=\s*/, $line, 2); # do something with $attr and $value, e.g. push (@{ $data{$attr} }, $value); } # foreach # e.g. extract first uid as dn my $dn = shift( @{ $data{uid} } ); print "dn: $dn\n"; foreach my $attr (keys %data) { foreach my $value (@{ $data{$key} }) { # perhaps you should care to create continuation lines # or better write the ldif with Net::LDAP::LDIF print "$attr: $value\n"; } } print "\n"; # object separator } # while close (FH);
or the like... (not tested)

Best regards,
perl -e "s>>*F>e=>y)\*martinF)stronat)=>print,print v8.8.8.32.11.32"

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
