Hello sandeepda, and welcome to the Monastery!

If I’ve understood your question correctly, the following script should give you an idea of how to proceed:

#! perl use Modern::Perl; my %ports; while (<DATA>) { next unless /^http/; my @records = split /\s+/; if (exists $ports{$records[2]}) { warn "Attempt to give port $records[2] a second name"; } else { $ports{$records[2]} = $records[0]; } } say join(' and ', get_listener_name($_)) for 6712, 4516; sub get_listener_name { my ($port_to_be_checked) = @_; my @results = ('FALSE', 'a1=null'); if (exists $ports{$port_to_be_checked}) { @results = ('TRUE', 'a1=' . $ports{$port_to_be_checked} . '(li +stener name)'); } return @results; } __DATA__ name ip port ------------------------------------ http-listener-1 * 6712 http-listener-2 * 8709

Output:

21:40 >perl 486_SoPW.pl TRUE and a1=http-listener-1(listener name) FALSE and a1=null 21:40 >

Hope that helps,
