Hi Monks, Hope you can help. I am new to learning perl and need some assistance in writing a perl script that covers several things. 1. I need a perl script that will examine different log files. 2. Seach each log file for exceptions of all kinds. 3. count the number of particulary exceptions in each log file. Particulary if that exception occurrs more than once in a log file then it counts that exception if it is the same exception. 4. provide an html summary via web browser for the following: path of exception(Where the exception occurred), the name of each exception(Null Pointer Exception) DBException etc. and the count number of times each exception occurred. You can email me at: mryneer@everstream.com Thanks

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
