I have 2 text files. I"m writing a perl script wherein i need to find "Unable to parse" string in a text file and then extract the whole line having this string. Extract part of this string after "/" and store the string in a variable. Then i need to open the other text file, find the stored string in this text file and replace the string.
my $ldir = "/Android"; $RESULTS_FILE = $ldir.'/'.'results.html'; open OUT, ">>", $RESULTS_FILE; open(IN,"<logcat.txt"); while(<IN>) { chomp; if( $_ =~ m/Unable to parse/ ) { my @string = split('/',$_); print @string; my $stream_name = $string[4]; while $srch(<OUT>) { chomp; if( $srch =~ m/$stream_name/ ) { // How to replace the line here? } } } }
Please help. Regards, Ramki
