Re^3: Perl doesn't read whole file by shmem (Chancellor) on Dec 03, 2007 at 00:08 UTC
While this doesn't address the mystery of a truncated file output - try the following with the history.txt file: `perl -n00 -e 'print $1,"\n" if /Overall Grade.*?([\d.]+%)/ms' history. +txt` [download] That should produce `95.9%` [download] i.e. the contents of line 32. See perlrun for command line switches, perlre for regular expressions. <update> Using a regular expression here is more reliable, since the line number where the sought information is stored arguably is more prone to changes than the format of the retrieved file. </update> --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

It works! I hope to get it all working in perl, but for now I'm happy with this shell script: #!/bin/bash perlgrade #perlgrade is the name of my grade downloading script perl -n00 -e 'print "French: $1","\n" if /Overall Grade.?([\d.]+%)/ms +' /home/jesse/Desktop/grades/french.txt perl -n00 -e 'print "Math: $1","\n" if /Overall Grade.?([\d.]+%)/ms' +/home/jesse/Desktop/grades/math.txt perl -n00 -e 'print "Biology: $1","\n" if /Overall Grade.?([\d.]+%)/m +s' /home/jesse/Desktop/grades/biology.txt perl -n00 -e 'print "Band: $1","\n" if /Overall Grade.?([\d.]+%)/ms' +/home/jesse/Desktop/grades/band.txt perl -n00 -e 'print "English: $1","\n" if /Overall Grade.?([\d.]+%)/m +s' /home/jesse/Desktop/grades/english.txt perl -n00 -e 'print "World History: $1","\n" if /Overall Grade.?([\d. +]+%)/ms' /home/jesse/Desktop/grades/history.txt [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Please post the file contents in this thread rather than on your scratch pad. Scratch pad contents are transient whereas thread contents may be useful to other people in the distant future. Perl is environmentally friendly - it saves trees	[reply]
