Hello monks I I had mangled up the code here is the thing again 

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
# analyse_map.perl
# Generate a snapshot of audio registers using register log file,
# Open map files (map_merc and rom.dld)
open(MAP, "<map_merc") || die "Unable to open map_merc";
# Read map_merc :
while(<MAP>)
{
  if( ($titi, $toto) = /^|\n\.(\w+).+\n\t+\.\w+\W+(\w+)/m)
  {
    print($titi, $toto, " ", $., "\n");
  }
}
#close(MAP);

This operation is performed on a C .map file which is listed below (juat a few lines) <CODE Link Editor Memory Map output input virtual section section address size file .begin 00002000 00000068 .begin a0000000 00000068 begin_flash.o _START a0000000 00000000 .copy_flash 00000000 00001488 .copy_flash a0001000 000001ac libbsp_qt1_aspic32.acopy_flash.o copy_from_flash a0001000 00000000 .CpDstBg 00003000 00000000 .text 00003000 00052be4 .boot 80003000 0000009c libbsp_qt1_aspic32.aboot.o HdwInit 80003000 00000000 end_SIF 80003080 00000000 .endtext 80055be4 00000000 .endtext 80055be4 00000000 end.o TextEnd 80055be4 00000000 .data 00180000 000004d0 .data 80201000 00000000 begin_flash.o StartData 80201000 00000000 </CODE> The thing I am trying to do is scan the line that begins with "." eg .begin etc and put it in the scalar $titi and then if there is a line just below which starts with a tab and then ".", get the second part which is the address. I hope this explaination is clear enough. If you need more explaination mail me at satyajeet.navalkar@philips.com Thanx. Saty
