Hi Monks, Here is my piece of code,

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $Time_Stamp ;
my $User_Name;
my $Success;
my $Failure;
my $ErrorCode;
my $ErrorMsg;
my $logDir = $ARGV[0]; 
my $logPrefix = $ARGV[1]; 
my $log;
my $line;
die "usage: $0 <logDir> <logPrefix>" unless $logDir and $logPrefix;  
die "Log dir $logDir doesn't exist" unless -d "$logDir";  
for my $logFile ( glob("$logDir/${logPrefix}*") ) 
{ 
    open($log, "<", $logFile) or die "Can't open $logFile for reading.
+";
    open(FP_OUT,">temp12") or die "cannot create file temp1 for writin
+g";
    print "Processing file $logFile...\n";
    

    OUTER: while( $line = <$log> )
    {

         chomp($line);
         if ($line =~ /^(.*)INFO:.*QNA Step - AUTH IN PROGRESS/) 
         {
                $Time_Stamp = $1;
                printf FP_OUT "$Time_Stamp,";
                QnA_search_for_sucess_or_failure() ;
                #QnA_search_for_userID() ;
                next OUTER;

         }

     }
}

sub QnA_search_for_sucess_or_failure
 
{
OUTER1: while ( $line = <$log> )

{
      if ($line =~ /QNA Auth.*Success\s*and\s*Complete/)

       {
                printf FP_OUT "Success,";
                print STDOUT  "In Success,\n";
                $ErrorMsg="null";
                while ( $line = <$log> )
                {
                     if ($line =~ /ArAuthFrameworkImpl::doPostAuth.*Au
+thentication\s*mechanism\s*returned\s*\[(..*)\]\s*for\s*AuthIdentity\

                         {
                               print "$2\n";
                              printf FP_OUT "$2, ${1}, $ErrorMsg\n";
                              last OUTER1;

                         }
                 }
                 
       }
       if($line =~ /Message.*QNA\s*Auth\s*Failed\((..*)\).*/)
       {
                 $ErrorMsg=$1;
                 printf FP_OUT  "Failure,";
                 print STDOUT  "In Failure,\n";
                 while ( $line = <$log> )
                      {
                         if ($line =~ /ArAuthFrameworkImpl::doPostAuth
+.*Authentication\s*mechanism\s*returned\s*\[(..*)\]\s*for\s*AuthIdent
+ity\s*\[(..*)\]/)

                          {
                              
                              print "$2\n";
                              printf FP_OUT "$2, ${1}, $ErrorMsg\n";
                              last OUTER1;
                          }

                      }

                 
       }
      }
      
}

The below snippet is taken from the logfile.I am using while loops bec
+ause there are many lines above and inbetween this snippet.
<CODE>
Tue May 19 22:55:13.649 2009 Morocco Standard Time INFO:    pid 2172 t
+id 3412: 160: 10083504: QNA Step - AUTH IN PROGRESS

and for QnA failure the line comes like this in place of success line-
+-

when i ran the program like this--

C:\Perl Script>perl  QnA_Authentication.pl . logfile.txt
Processing file ./logfile.txt...
In Success,
01503164
In Success,
01822755
In Failure,
01401058
Processing file ./logfile.txt.bak...
[download]

but in output file that is temp12, it is not printing anything. Kindly suggest wha is wrong here.
