Can anyone enlighten me on how to keep GUI Windows open unless I specifically terminate the window? This project looks into a log file and creates popups using the information found there. The log file will be written to almost constantly. The problem is that I need each Window to stay open until I exit it, however, when the code finishes reading the log file (whether or not more is then added to it), all of the open windows automatically close. It seems that this is the result of the windows terminating as the foreach loop is completed. Does anyone know how I could alter this so the windows are not terminated with the completion of the loop, or if that is even possible?
Here is a piece of the log file:
Time: 10/31-13:36:10.802641

And here is my code:
use warnings;
use Win32::GUI();
use Win32::Sound;
use diagnostics;
$filename="log3.txt";
open(TXT, $filename)||die("Could not open file!");
@filedata = <TXT>;
close(TXT);
@alert = ['a'..'z'];
$i=0, $p=1;
foreach $element (@filedata)
{
if($element =~ /(\s+)(\d{1,4})(\.\d{1,4}){3}(\s+)/)
{
&Build_Window;
}
++$i; ++$p;
}
open (TXT, ">$filename");
close TXT;
sub Build_Window
{
$datetime = localtime();
$alert[$i] = new Win32::GUI::Window(-name => "Alert", -width =
+> 500, -height => 150, -pos => [$p*2, $p*2]);
$font = Win32::GUI::Font -> new(-name => "Arial", size => 46,
+-bold => 1);
$alert[$i] -> AddLabel(-text => $datetime, -font => $font);
$alert[$i] -> AddLabel(-text => "SNORT ALERT: MALICIOUS BEHAVI
+OR DETECTED!", -font => $font, -top => 50);
$alert[$i] -> AddLabel(-text => $element, -font => $font, -top
+ => 75);
my $t1 = $alert[$i] -> AddTimer('T1', 1000);
Win32::Sound::Play("SystemExclamation");
$alert[$i] -> Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
sub T1_Timer { while(@filedata){return -1;} }
sub Alert_Terminate { return 1; }
}
Also, if you know of any websites that could help me with this, that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks so much for your time and help.
