issue with grep in the output of a command

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

I have a script that executes on a remote machine and fetched the output

The output saves in to a variable,I need to grep for a value so i can use it,the sample code is below

$logger->info("performing ssh to the swicth");
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($ip,user=>"$username",password=>"$password
+",master_opts=>[-o =>"StrictHostKeyChecking=no"]);
print"$display_message\n";

$logger->info("listing the current defined configuration of the switch
+ using cfgshow");
my($out,$err) = $ssh->capture2("cfgshow");

the $out contains the output of the cfgshow command the output in $out is

2015/07/25 23:01:48 Test1:pass cfgshow Defined configuration:
 cfg:   FC_DVT  MEZZI; MEZZI1

Hi janasec, You can split and grep like this: `use Data::Dumper; my @out = grep /FC_DVT/, split("\n", $out); print Dumper( \@out ) . "\n";` [download] and the output is `$VAR1 = [ 'cfg: FC_DVT MEZZI; MEZZI1', 'cfg: FC_DVT' ];` [download] UPDATE 'use' line was edded.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`do {say if /FC_DVT/} for split "\n", $out;` CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.

You have code in replies above but for future reference: We like to see your code (working code, that is, where code which compiles but produces errors or warnings upon execution minimally satisfies the "working" condition)... as a alternative to mere referals to the documents, in this case: `perldoc -f grep` `$anecdote ne $data` *Questions containing the words "doesn't work" (or their moral equivalent) will usually get a downvote from me unless accompanied by:* code verbatim error and/or warning messages *a coherent explanation of what "doesn't work* actually means.**	[reply] [d/l] [select]
