in thread Extract field after keyword

The file is very basic... FILE:
Report on Used Media Cell Manager: Trinity.mydomain.com Creation Date: 3/19/2004 10:05:17 AM Label Location Pool Name Protection Used [MB] + Total [MB] Last Used [NFK100L2] [MSL6000 Trinity: 7] MSL6000 None + 0.06 204800.00 3/19/2004 10:04:2
All the code follows:
#$slotnumber=0; $dpdrivloc = "Trinity"; open(DPSLOTFILE, "< c:\\test.txt") or die "Can't open test.txt: $!"; while (<DPSLOTFILE>) { if (/$dpdrivloc:\s*(\d+)/) { print "Slot for today is: $1\n"; } } #system("c:\\ipbat.bat"); close DPSLOTFILE;

    So, it works? (It does for me.)

    Not sure from your reply. Do you still have a problem?

      I wrote a simple text file using the data fields I put in the post. Then ran what you gave me (dave) against that file, and it was correct. I got output.
      The file that I am using is exported from another program as an ASCII file named test.txt or whatever I choose. The file might be the culperate.
      I'll have to play with the file some. Are there any known issues with this??? Any info is appreciated.
