This script takes a text file and parses two types of lines; Customer name and Message-Id. Unfortunately, there are usually two Message-Id tags per email. Anybody know how I would get the script to ignore the second one? Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl $textfile = "iwn.txt"; open (TEXT, "$textfile") || die "Con't Open $textfile"; @text=<TEXT>; close(TEXT); $glob = @text; for($i=0; $i<$glob; $i++){ $_ = @text[$i]; if(/Email address:/){ print $_; } elsif(/Message-Id:/){ print $_; } }
Here are the current results with two emails:
Email address: 19324213@glerp Message-Id: <200103160515.WAA07878@mal.elp.rr.com> Message-Id: <200103160515.WAA07878@mal.elp.rr.com> Email address: 19075680@glerp Message-Id: <200103150512.VAA27508@prxy3.ba.best.com> Message-Id: <200103150512.VAA27508@prxy3.ba.best.com>
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
