Hi Gurus,

I'm looking to iterate a file and if find specific word then store the other lines following that which matches specific pattern.The ldap.txt file is pretty large in several Gigs.

user.txt
test1

game

ldap.txt
dn: uid=test1,ou=people,dc=admin,dc=local

blah

blah

maillocaladdress: test1@example.com

maillocaladdress: test.team@example.com

maillocaladdress: test11@example.com

some date

some more data

data


dn: uid=game,ou=people,dc=admin,dc=local

blah

blah

maillocaladdress: game@example.com

maillocaladdress: game.test@example.com

maillocaladdress: game-test@example.com

some date

some more data

data

and so on..


Open user.txt and iterate through each user and check each line on ldap.txt in dn: line. If matches, then store the value of all the lines matching maillocaladdress to the varialbe , I assume in hash key/value pari but here the values are more than one.


e.g.

test1 matches dn: uid=test1,ou=people,dc=admin,dc=local

Store the following values for each user.

test1@example.com

test.team@example.com

test11@example.com

Thank you for all your help & support.
