Hello guys , I have this data here
Update ID: pa Update Status: open (view: pa_lden-cr_q00457655_EFLT) Branch Type: lden Comment: <* Software Update Template *> <*Version: dflkasd
I want to grep for the update status and see if it is open if it is then I want to print the path next to it , in this case my output should be the
$view = pa_lden-cr_q00457655_EFLT
I am doing the following and able to check weather it is new ,, but to get the view there is a problem in my code:
while(<check>) { if (m/^(?:Update Status:)\s*(\w+)/) { $target = $1 } if ( $target eq "open") { if (m/^(?:Update Status:)\s*(\w+)\s*(\w+)$/) { $view = $1 } } print "$target\n"; print "$veiw\n"; close(check);
can someone show me the problem ,, thanks guys .
