Dear Monks
<br><br>
I have a text file such as this;
<code>
[Microsoft MediaPlayer Settings 1.0]
Script_Path=apps\microsoft\mediaplayersettings\1.0\go\mediaplayersettings10.go

[Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP 1.00]
Script_Path=apps\microsoft\powertoysforwindowsxp\1.00\go\powertoysforwindowsxp100.go
</code>
I need to capture all the <code>[…]</code> followed by the script path. For Example ;
<code>
[Microsoft MediaPlayer Settings 1.0]
Script_Path=apps\microsoft\mediaplayersettings\1.0\go\mediaplayersettings10.go
[Microsoft Resource Kit v1.0]
Script_Path=apps\company\msreskitxp\go\msreskitxp.go
[Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP 1.00]
Script_Path=apps\microsoft\powertoysforwindowsxp\1.00\go\powertoysforwindowsxp100.go
</code>
I wrote this script;
<code>
use strict;
use vars qw/@source_go/;
open (LST,"$ARGV[0]/"."c\$/program files/common files/morgan stanley sysadmin/config/go.ini")||die "Cannot find Go.ini file\n";
chomp (my @go = <LST>);
for my $data (@go)
{
my $go_rec;
if ($data =~ /^[^a-z]/i)
{
#print "\n$data : \n";
$go_rec->{app} = $data if ($data);
}
if ($data =~ /^Script_path/i)
{
#print "$data\n";
$go_rec->{path} = $data if ($data);
}
push (@source_go, $go_rec);
}
for my $item (@source_go)
{
next if (! $item->{app});
print "$item->{app} : ";
print "$item->{path} \n";
}
</code>
However, I do get many empty array elements in my source_go array and I feel there is more effecient way for doing this! I am asking you wise monks if there is a better way to capture the text in between the square bracketts followed by the script path?<br>
Thanks
