Log File Extracting Multi Line Records

[zenosan]

SunOS bsm1b 5.9 Generic_118558-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-440

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris

I have listed the platform/OS information for your reference.

I need to extract records from a log file with the following format:

|O%:CCLN-1-CBS1:CELLS-1-CELLS1:MCBTS-1-MC1900BTS1183
line 1
line 2
line 3
. . .
#End

There are several of these logs within the log file and I need them all. There is a distinct header and footer for each log as outlined above.

I created the following script, but it only prints one record:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
foreach $file (@ARGV) {
  open(fd1,"<$file");
  $mydata = "";
  while ($mydata = <fd1>) {
    if ($mydata =~ /^.*MCBTS-1-MC1900BTS1183.*BTSCALLPROCESSING-1-BTSCALLPROCESSING1$/) {
        print "$mydata";
        $mydata = <fd1>;
        until ($mydata =~ /^#END$/) {
          print "$mydata";
          $mydata = <fd1>;
        }
       print "$mydata";
     }
  }
  close fd1;
}
 

Any help is appreciated.

Hard to say, the pattern you are searching:

/^.*MCBTS-1-MC1900BTS1183.* BTSCALLPROCESSI NG-1-BTSCALLPROCESSI NG1$/

look almost nothing like the sample data you posted:

|O%:CCLN-1-CBS1:CELLS-1-CELLS1:MCBTS-1-MC1900BTS1183

Do you need to use more patterns or change the one you are using? Clarify what you are looking for.

Heres a general Idea:

LOOP:  while ($mydata = <DATA>) {
    if ($mydata =~ /^\Q|O%:CCLN-1-CBS1:CELLS-1-CELLS1:MCBTS-1-MC1900BTS1183\E$/) {
        print "$mydata";
        while ($mydata = <DATA>) {
          print "$mydata";
          next LOOP if $mydata =~ /#End/;
        }
     }
  }
 
__DATA__
