Hi all,

I have a task, which is to read a file and print the lines with number prefix, line by line, Then let the user select a choice, and print the value after "=" into a variable.

Below is the code

use strict;
use warnings;

@agents = $session->GetAllAgents();
$i=1;
$inputfile = "Agents.txt";
open (INPUTF, '>', $inputfile) || die("FATAL ERROR: Cannot open output
+ file.\n");

foreach $agent($i)
   {
    foreach $agent (@agents) 
        {
my $num = $i ++;
print INPUTF "$num ";
print INPUTF "Agent Name = ". $agent->Name() . "\n";
print "$num. ";
print "Agent Name = " . $agent->Name() . "\n";#
        }
    }
close(INPUTF);
print '*' x 80 ;
print "\n"; 
print " Select Agent to Export:"; chomp ($choice = <STDIN>);
open(inputfile) or die("FATAL ERROR: Cannot open input file.\n");
my @lines = <inputfile>;
$fVal = "";
$line = "";
foreach $line (@lines)
    {
        if ( ($fVal ne "" ) && ( lc $fVal eq lc $choice ) )
        {
            if($line =~ /$choice/)
            {
                $Agtname = "$line";
                print $Agtname;
                my @values = split('=', $Agtname);
                $value = @values;
                $val = $values[2];
                #$val =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g;
                #$fVal = substr $val, 15;
                #print $fVal;
                #$Agtname = $fVal;
                #print $Agtname;
                last;
            }
        }
    }
close(inputfile);

And the output would be like below

1. Agent Name = 153002_nlidmovwb01_apa_1

2. Agent Name = 153002_nwidmovap01_iis_1

3. Agent Name = etaadmin

4. Agent Name = migdemo-agent

5. Agent Name = migdemothree-agent

6. Agent Name = wa_153002_idmap_apa_1

7. Agent Name = 35-000cfc42-7389-1399-aa09-3853873c308d

8. Agent Name = test wokspace agent
