Hi monks, Below is the line from which i have to extract storage path of each vob tags.
* /vobs/bt_rel /usr/add-on/puccase_vob01/ccvob01/bt_rel.vbs public (replicated)
* /scm /usr/add-on/puccase_vob01/ccvob01/scm.vbs public (replicated)
* /v_dialermidtier /usr/addon/puccase_vob01/ccvob01/v_dialermidtier.vbs public (replicated)
* /v_dialer /usr/add-on/puccase_vob01/ccvob01/v_dialer.vbs public (replicated)
* /vobs/UMTools /user/addon/puccase_vob01/ccvob01/UMtools.vbs replicated)
I am trying to extract storage path of each vobtag as by below regular expression
#!/usr/bin/perl
$arg=$ARGV[0];
$cmd1="cleartool lsvob  $arg";
$arr=`$cmd1`;
$storage=$1 if($arr=~/^*\s+\/\w+\/\w+\s+(.+)\s+\w+|^*\s+\/\w+\s+(.+)\s
++\w+\);
print "$storage\n";

The above code is working only for the tags which is having 2 "\\"in it,but i have to match the storage path of vob tags which will not have 2 "\\" in it.
I am trying to match those vobtags storage path also by alternation as below
$storage=$1 if($arr=~/^*\s+\/\w+\/\w+\s+(.+)\s+\w+|^*\s+\/\w+\s+(.+)\s
++\w+\|^*\s+\/\w+\s+(.+)\s+\w+/);

Can anyone help me out to find where i am doing mistake in the above script.....
