perl script for adding information to c file.

[veerubiji]

I want add some information to c file. I have two hash tables one hash table contains information about some strings and numbers to stings like as shown below.

    hash table1
     (keys)(string nubers)    (values)string names
      24                         temperature
      25                         pressure
      26                         humidity

like this i have more strings and regarding numbers. in this hash table keys are numbers and values are string names. i have another hash table which contains string numbers and information.

hash table 2
     (keys)(string nubers)    (values)string names
       24                       information
       25                        information
       26                        information.

like that i have second hash table. numbers in the both hash tables are same and each string having unique number.there is no repetion in numbers like 1 to 100 numbers. now in my c file i have the sting names like temperature and humidity and pressure..... i have to search that string using these hash tables and i have to add information after the string if i found any string in the c file. i have written code like this but its notworking.

 #!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
 
open (my $code , "<", 'ccode.c');
 
my %data = ('24'=>":&temperature \n",
'25'=>": &pressure \n",
'26'=>": &humidity\n",
);
 
my %nums = ( '24'=>": information1\n",
'25'=>": information2 \n", 
'26'=>": information3 \n",
); 
 
 
my $test_string="(" .join("|", keys %data).")" ;
 
while(<$code>){
 
if (/$test_string/){
 
chomp;
 
%data= reverse %data;
 
$_.=$nums{$data{1}}; 
}
print $_
}

if i excute this script it doesnt give any errors and no added information in the c file. it giving original c file as it is.what should i have to change in this code. my c file is lokking like as below.

1. You are searching for strings in this (or similar) form:

   ":&temperature \n"
   

   Such a string in not present in your data.
2. Also, you are reverting %data back and forth. That's probably not what you need.
3. I tried to clear your code and make it run:

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   use warnings;
   use strict;
   
   my $code = *DATA;
   
   my %data = (24 => 'temperature',
               25 => 'pressure',
               26 => 'humidity',
              );
   
   my %nums = ( 24 => ": information1\n",
                25 => ": information2 \n",
                26 => ": information3 \n",
              );
   
   %data = reverse %data;
   my $test_string = '(' . join("|", keys %data) . ')' ;
   
   while (<$code>){
       if (/$test_string/) {
           chomp;
           $_ .= $nums{$data{$1}};
       }
       print;
   }
   
   __DATA__
   /*!
   **********************************************************************
   +*******
   * * $b Description: Pressure Valve high
   **********************************************************************
   +******/
   #include "ccode.h"
   /*********************************************************************
   +*******/
   /* Local function prototypes (static): */
   void main_10ms(void)
   {
   temperature ( i need to add infomation before  string that found)
   if {.....
   ......
   if{........
   .....
   }else
   {......
   }
   }
   humidity( i need to add infomation before  string that found)
   if {.....
   ......
   if{........
   .....
   }else
   {......
   }
   }
   

4. Do you really need two hashes? Having just one with the information like temperature => 'information1' would be much easier.
Update: Restructured.

Hi choroba, Its working but i have one problem with this script, it adding information how many times sting found in c file. But i need to add only once.for example if temperature string found three times in c file, so it adding same information three times. if string found add information at once is enoghf. no need to add same information so many times(how many times string presents).because in my file i have repeated strings so its aadding same information several times. how can i rectify this.

how can i rectify this.

Modify program to use hash "%seen" to keep track of substitutions already made

See perlfaq6

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

open (my $code , "<", 'ccode.c')||die "Could not open ccode.c\n\t$!";

my %data = ('24'=>"temperature",
            '25'=>"pressure",
            '26'=>"humidity",
);

my %nums = ('24'=>"information1: ",
            '25'=>"information2: ",
            '26'=>"information3: ",
);

%data = reverse %data;

my $test_string="(" .join("|", keys %data).")" ;

while(<$code>){
    if (/$test_string/){
        $_=$nums{$data{$1}}.$_;
    }
    print $_
}

I could have sworn I saw this over on unix.com last week....?
Anyway, I hope this resolves your question.
