Re^4: Parsing output from a command

Hm. I got this output when I ran your code on the OP's data (c&p'd from the console window):

c:\test>junk4
hdisk0  0009E05B


hdisk1  P1/Z1-Ab     16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive (18200 MB)

        Manufacturer................IBM
        Machine Type and Model......ST318305LC
        FRU Number..................09P4437
        Serial Number...............0004A0D2

BrowserUk, The problem isn't what you suggest: That'll screw up on the last record because there is no "\nhdisk" delimiter following it. The problem is that the regex was anchored at ^. As I said, I had to make a minor modificiation to match the real AIX command (removing that). If you modify my code to drop the ^ it will work against the OP's DATA or the two modifications above if you want to run it on the real command. Cheers - L~R	[reply]
