perl count line in double looping, if match regular expression plus 1 - regex

I open a file by putting the line to an array. Inside this file based on the regular expression that contains a duplicate value. If the regular expression is a match I want to count it. The regular expression may look like this
$b =~ /\/([^\/]+)##/. I want to match $1 value.
my #array = do
{
open my $FH, '<', 'abc.txt' or die 'unable to open the file\n';
<$FH>;
};
Below is the way I do, it will get the same line in my file. Thank for help.
foreach my $b (#array)
{
$conflictTemp = 0;
$b =~ /\/([^\/]+)##/;
$b = $1;
#print "$b\n";
foreach my $c (#array)
{
$c =~ /\/([^\/]+)##/;
$c = $1;
if($b eq $c)
{
$conflictTemp ++;
#print "$b , $c \n"
#if($conflictTemp > 1)
#{
# $conflict ++;
#}
}
}
}
Below is the some sample data, two sentences are duplicates
/a/b/c/d/code/Debug/atlantis_digital/c/d/code/Debug/atlantis_digital.map##/main/place.09/2
/a/b/c/d/code/C5537_mem_map.cmd##/main/place.09/0
/a/b/c/d/code/.settings/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.prefs##/main/4

/a/b/c/d/code/.**cdtbuild##**/main/CSS5/2
/a/b/c/d/code/.ccsproject##/main/CSS5/3

It looks like you're trying to iterate each element of the array, select some data via pattern match, and then count dupes. Is that correct?
Would it not be easier to:
my %count_of;
while ( <$FH> ) {
my ( $val ) = /\/([^\/]+)##/;
$count_of{$val}++;
}
And then, for the variables that have more than one (e.g. there's a duplicate):
print join "\n", grep { $count_of{$_} > 1 } keys %count_of;
Alternatively, if you're just wanting to play 'spot the dupe':
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %seen;
my $match = qr/\/([^\/]+)##/;
while ( <DATA> ) {
my ( $value ) = m/$match/ or next;
print if $seen{$value}++;
}
__DATA__
/a/b/c/d/code/Debug/atlantis_digital/c/d/code/Debug/atlantis_digital.map##/main/place.09/2
/a/b/c/d/code/C5537_mem_map.cmd##/main/place.09/0

/a/b/c/d/code/.cdtbuild##/main/CSS5/2
/a/b/c/d/code/.ccsproject##/main/CSS5/3

The problem has been solved by the previous answer - I just want to offer an alternate flavour that;
Spells out the regex
Uses the %seen hash to record the line the pattern first appears; to enable
slightly more detailed reporting
use v5.12;
use warnings;
my $regex = qr/
\/ # A literal slash followed by
( # Capture to $1 ...
[^\/]+ # ... anything that's not a slash
) # close capture to $1
## # Must be immdiately followed by literal ##
/x;
my %line_num ;
while (<>) {
next unless /$regex/ ;
my $pattern = $1 ;
if ( $line_num{ $pattern } ) {
say "'$pattern' appears on lines ", $line_num{ $pattern }, " and $." ;
next ;
}
$line_num{ $pattern } = $. ; # Record the line number
}
# Ran on data above will produce;
# '.cdtproject' appears on lines 7 and 8
# '.cdtbuild' appears on lines 10 and 11

Perl Regex - Print the matched Conditional Regex

I am trying to extract some patterns out of a log file but I am unable to print them properly.
Examples of log strings :
1) sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.47269.2644?startid=2644000&endid=2644666
2) sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.41987.9616
I want to extract 3 things :
A = "FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD" B = "47269" C = 9616 or 2644666 (if the line
has endid then C = 2644666 else it's 9616)
log line can either be of type 1 or 2. I am able to extract A and B but I am stuck with C as I need a conditional statement for it and I am not able to extract it properly. I am pasting my code :
my $string='/sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.47269.2644?startid=2644000&endid=2644666';
if ($string =~ /sequence_history\/buckets\/(.*)/){
my $line = $1;
print "$line\n";
if($line =~ /(FPJ.*PRD)\.(\d*)\./){
my $topic_type_string = $1;
my $topic_id = $2;
print "$1\n$2\n";
}
if($string =~ /(?(?=endid=)\d*$)/){
# how to print match pattern here?
print "match\n";
}
Thanks in advance!
This will do the job:
use Modern::Perl;
use Data::Dumper;
my $re = qr/(FPJ.+?PRD)\.(\d+)\..*?(\d+)$/;
while(<DATA>) {
chomp;
my (#l) = $_ =~ /$re/g;
say Dumper\#l;
}
__DATA__
sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.47269.2644?startid=2644000&endid=2644666
sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.41987.9616
Output:
$VAR1 = [
'FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD',
'47269',
'2644666'
];
$VAR1 = [
'FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD',
'41987',
'9616'
];
Explanation:
( : start group 1
FPJ : literally FPJ
.+? : 1 or more any character but newline, not greedy
PRD : literally PRD
) : end group 1
\. : a dot
( : start group 2
\d+ : 1 or more digit
) : end group 2
\. : a dot
.*? : 0 or more any character not greedy
( : start group 3
\d+ : 1 or more digit
) : end group 3
$ : end of string
If you are trying to fetch some entries in log file, then you can use file handles in perl. In below code i'm trying to fetch the entries from a log file named as test.log
Entries of the log are as below.
sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.47269.2644?startid=2644000&endid=2644666
sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.41987.9616
sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.47269.69886?startid=2644000&endid=26765849
sequence_history/buckets/FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD.47269.24465?startid=2644000&endid=836783741
Below is the perl script to fetch required data.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open (FH, "test.log") || die "Not able to open test.log $!";
my ($a,$b,$c);
while (my $line=<FH>)
{
if ($line =~ /sequence_history\/buckets\/.*endid=(\d*)/)
{
$c= $1;
if ($line =~ /(FPJ.*PRD)\.(\d*)\.(\d*)\?/)
{
$a=$1;
$b=$2;
}
}
else
{
if ($line =~ /sequence_history\/buckets\/(FPJ.*PRD)\.(\d*)\.(\d*)/)
{
$a=$1;
$b=$2;
$c=$3;
}
}
print "\n \$a=$a\n \$b=$b\n \$c=$c \n";
}
Output:
$a=FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD
$b=47269
$c=2644666
$a=FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD
$b=41987
$c=9616
$a=FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD
$b=47269
$c=26765849
$a=FPJ.INV_DOM_16_PRD
$b=47269
$c=836783741
You can use the above code by replacing "test.log" by log file name (along with its path) from which you want to fetch data as shown below.
open (FH, "/path/to/log/file/test.log") || die "Not able to open test.log $!";

Dynamically capture regular expression match in Perl

I'm trying to dynamically catch regex matching in Perl. I've known that eval will help me do this but I may be doing something wrong.
Code:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %testHash = (
'(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)' => '$1$2$3'
);
my $str = '1/12/2016';
foreach my $pattern (keys (%testHash)) {
my $value = $testHash{$pattern};
my $result;
eval {
local $_ = $str;
/$pattern/;
print "\$1 - $1\n";
print "\$2 - $2\n";
print "\$3 - $3\n";
eval { print "$value\n"; }
}
}
Is it also possible to store captured regex patterns in an array?
I believe what you really want is a dynamic version of the following:
say $str =~ s/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/$1$2$3/gr;
String::Substitution provides what we need to achieve that.
use String::Substitution qw( gsub_copy );
for my $pattern (keys(%testHash)) {
my $replacement = $testHash{$pattern};
say gsub_copy($str, $pattern, $replacement);
}
Note that $replacement can also be a callback. This permits far more complicated substitutions. For example, if you wanted to convert 1/12/2016 into 2016-01-12, you could use the following:
'(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)' => sub { sprintf "%d-%02d-%02d", #_[3,1,2] },
To answer your actual question:
use String::Substitution qw( interpolate_match_vars last_match_vars );
for my $pattern (keys(%testHash)) {
my $template = $testHash{$pattern};
$str =~ $pattern # Or /$pattern/ if you prefer
or die("No match!\n");
say interpolate_match_vars($template, last_match_vars());
}
I am not completely sure what you want to do here, but I don't think your program does what you think it does.
You are useing eval with a BLOCK of code. That's like a try block. If it dies inside of that eval block, it will catch that error. It will not run your string like it was code. You need a string eval for that.
Instead of explaining that, here's an alternative.
This program uses sprintf and numbers the parameters. The %1$s syntax in the pattern says _take the first argument (1$) and format it as a string (%s). You don't need to localize or assign to $_ to do a match. The =~ operator does that on other variables for you. I also use qr{} to create a quoted regular expression (essentially a variable containing a precompiled pattern) that I can use directly. Because of the {} as delimiter, I don't need to escape the slashes.
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say'; # like print ..., "\n"
my %testHash = (
qr{(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)} => '%1$s.%2$s.%3$s',
qr{(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+) nomatch} => '%1$s.%2$s.%3$s',
qr{(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d\d\d\d)} => '%3$4d-%2$02d-%1$02d',
qr{\d} => '%s', # no capture group
);
my $str = '1/12/2016';
foreach my $pattern ( keys %testHash ) {
my #captures = ( $str =~ $pattern );
say "pattern: $pattern";
if ($#+ == 0) {
say " no capture groups";
next;
}
unless (#captures) {
say " no match";
next;
}
# debug-output
for my $i ( 1 .. $#- ) {
say sprintf " \$%d - %s", $i, $captures[ $i - 1 ];
}
say sprintf $testHash{$pattern}, #captures;
}
I included four examples:
The first pattern is the one you had. It uses %1$s and so on as explained above.
The second one does not match. We check the number of elements in #captured by looking at it in scalar context.
The third one shows that you can also reorder the result, or even use the sprintf formatting.
The last one has no capture group. We check by looking at the index of the last element ($# as the sigil for arrays that usually have an # sigil) in #+, which holds the offsets of the ends of the last successful submatches in the currently active dynamic scope. The first element is the end of the overall match, so if this only has one element, we don't have capture groups.
The output for me is this:
pattern: (?^:(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d\d\d\d))
$1 - 1
$2 - 12
$3 - 2016
2016-12-01
pattern: (?^:(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+) nomatch)
no match
pattern: (?^:\d)
no capture groups
pattern: (?^:(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+))
$1 - 1
$2 - 12
$3 - 2016
1.12.2016
Note that the order in the output is mixed up. That's because hashes are not ordered in Perl, and if you iterate over the keys in a hash without sort the order is random.
Apologies! I realized both my question and sample code were both vague. But after reading your suggestions I came of with the following code.
I haven't optimized this code yet and there is a limit to the replacement.
foreach my $key (keys %testHash) {
if ( $str =~ $key ) {
my #matchArr = ($str =~ $key); # Capture all matches
# Search and replace (limited from $1 to $9)
for ( my $i = 0; $i < #matchArr; $i++ ) {
my $num = $i+1;
$testHash{$key} =~ s/\$$num/$matchArr[$i]/;
}
$result = $testHash{$key};
last;
}
}
print "$result\n";
Evaluing the regexp in list context returns the matches. so in your example:
use Data::Dumper; # so we can see the result
foreach my $pattern (keys (%testHash)) {
my #a = ($str =~/$pattern/);
print Dumper(\#a);
}
would do the job.

Is it also possible to store captured regex patterns in an array?
Of course it is possible to store captured substrings in an array:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my #patterns = map qr{$_}, qw{
(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)
};
my $str = '1/12/2016';
foreach my $pattern ( #patterns ) {
my #captured = ($str =~ $pattern)
or next;
print "'$_'\n" for #captured;
}
Output:
'1'
'12'
'2016'
I do not quite understand what you are trying to do with combinations of local, eval EXPR and eval BLOCK in your code and the purpose of the following hash:
my %testHash = (
'(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)' => '$1$2$3'
);
If you are trying to codify that this pattern should result in three captures, you can do that like this:
my #tests = (
{
pattern => qr{(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)},
ncaptures => 3,
}
);
my $str = '1/12/2016';
foreach my $test ( #tests ) {
my #captured = ($str =~ $test->{pattern})
or next;
unless (#captured == $test->{ncaptures}) {
# handle failure
}
}
See this answer to find out how you can automate counting the number of capture groups in a pattern. Using the technique in that answer:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
my #tests = map +{ pattern => qr{$_}, ncaptures => number_of_capturing_groups($_) }, qw(
(\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)
);
my $str = '1/12/2016';
foreach my $test ( #tests ) {
my #captured = ($str =~ $test->{pattern});
ok #captured == $test->{ncaptures};
}
done_testing;
sub number_of_capturing_groups {
"" =~ /|$_[0]/;
return $#+;
}
Output:
ok 1

How to print and get index of two regex match in perl?

How can I print and get index from regex here:
my $search1 = "aaaNAMEaaaa";
my $search2 = "bbbbCHECKbbb";
if ( $search1 =~ /na\we/i and $search2 =~ /che\wk/i ) {
print "String found\n";
# This works with one search
# my $matched = $&;
# my $pos = index( $search1, $matched );
}
If both expressions match, $& will only have the last match. i.e. for the example above $& will always have the value CHECK and never have NAME because it was overwritten by the second pattern match.
You can wrap this logic in a function, then call that function as many times as you'd like with different string, pattern combinations:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $search1 = "aaaNAMEaaaa";
my $search2 = "bbbbCHECKbbb";
print index_from_match($search1, qr/na\we/i), "\n"; # 3
print index_from_match($search2, qr/che\wk/i), "\n"; # 4
print index_from_match($search1, qr/che\wk/i), "\n"; # -1
sub index_from_match {
my ($s, $pattern) = #_;
# uses a capture group instead of $&
if ( my ($match) = $s =~ m/($pattern)/ ) {
return index($s, $match);
}
return -1;
}
The core problem is that you're doing two regex comparisons in a single expression, so the values for the first one are lost before they can be processed
It's really hard to see how to help you without understanding the program flow within the conditional statement and how you actually use those values
Other languages use the idea of a match object, and it's easy to simulate that here by writing a subroutine that returns either a [ string, offset ] pair if the pattern matched, or undef if not. It's also less wasteful to use the built-in #- and #+ arrays to provide the values needed instead of repeating the search with index
It would look like this
use strict;
use warnings 'all';
use Carp 'croak';
my $search1 = 'aaaNAMEaaaa';
my $search2 = 'bbbbCHECKbbb';
my $match1 = match($search1, /na\we/i);
my $match2 = match($search2, qr/che\wk/i);
if ( $match1 and $match2 ) {
print "String found\n";
printf qq{"%s" found at offset %d\n}, #$match1;
printf qq{"%s" found at offset %d\n}, #$match2;
}
sub match {
my ($s, $re) = #_;
croak "Compiled regex required" unless ref $re eq 'Regexp';
return unless $s =~ $re;
[ substr($s, $-[0], $+[0]-$-[0]), $-[0] ];
}
output
String found
"NAME" found at offset 3
"CHECK" found at offset 4
I think it would also be neater to write this as
my $match1 = match($search1, qr/na\we/i);
my $match2 = match($search2, qr/che\wk/i);
if ( $match1 and $match2 ) {
print "String found\n";
printf qq{"%s" found at offset %d\n}, #$match1;
printf qq{"%s" found at offset %d\n}, #$match2;
}
Break your compound if into multiple if statements
my $search1 = "aaaNAMEaaaa";
my $search2 = "bbbbCHECKbbb";
my ($matched1, $matched2, $pos1, $pos2);
if ( $search1 =~ /na\we/i) {
$matched1 = $&;
$pos1 = index( $search1, $matched1);
if ($search2 =~ /che\wk/i ) {
print "String found\n";
$matched2 = $&;
$pos2 = index( $search2, $matched2);
#do whatever you need with $pos1 & $pos2
} else {
#reset previously set vars
undef $matched1;
undef $pos1;
}
}

A non-greedy Perl regular expression

I need to write a script which does the following:
$ cat testdata.txt
this is my file containing data
for checking pattern matching with a patt on the back!
only one line contains the p word.
$ ./mygrep5 pat th testdata.txt
this is my file containing data
for checking PATTERN MATCHING WITH a PATT ON THe back!
only one line contains the p word.
I have been able to print the line which is amended with the "a" capitalized as well. I have no idea how to only take what is needed.
I have been messing around (below is my script so far) and all I manage to return is the "PATT ON TH" part.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';
use Data::Dump 'pp';
my ($f, $s, $t) = #ARGV;
my #output_lines;
open(my $fh, '<', $t);
while (my $line = <$fh>) {
if ($line =~ /$f/ && $line =~ /$s/) {
$line =~ s/($f.+?$s)/$1/g;
my $sub_phrase = uc $1;
$line =~ s/$1/$sub_phrase/g;
print $line;
}
#else {
# print $line;
#}
}
close($fh);
which returns: "for checking pattern matching with a PATT ON THe back!"
How can I fix this problem?
It sounds like you want to capitalize from pat to th except for instances of a surrounded by spaces. The easiest way is to uppercase the whole thing, and then fix any instances of A surrounded by spaces.
sub capitalize {
my $s = shift;
my $uc = uc($s);
$uc =~ s/ \s \K A (?=\s) /a/xg;
return $uc;
}
s{ ( \Q$f\E .* \Q$s\E ) }{ capitalize($1) }xseg;
The downside is that will replacing any existing A surrounded by spaces with a. The following is more complicated, but it doesn't suffer from that problem:
sub capitalize {
my $s = shift;
my #parts = $s =~ m{ \G ( \s+ | \S+ ) }xg;
for (#parts) {
$_ = uc($_) if $_ ne "a";
}
return join('', #parts);
}
s{ ( \Q$f\E .* \Q$s\E ) }{ capitalize($1) }xseg;
The rest of the code can be simplified:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
sub capitalize { ... }
my $f = shift;
my $s = shift;
while (<>) {
s{ ( \Q$f\E .* \Q$s\E ) }{ capitalize($1) }xseg;
print;
}
So, if you want to match each sequence that starts with pat and ends with th, non-greedily, and uppercase that sequence, you can simply use an expression on the right side of your substitution:
$line =~ s/($f.+?$s)/uc($1)/eg;
And that's it.

Perl parsing JavaScript file regex, to catch quotes only at the beginning and end of the returned string

I'm just starting to learn Perl. I need to parse JavaScript file. I came up with the following subroutine, to do it:
sub __settings {
my ($_s) = #_;
my $f = $config_directory . "/authentic-theme/settings.js";
if ( -r $f ) {
for (
split(
'\n',
$s = do {
local $/ = undef;
open my $fh, "<", $f;
<$fh>;
}
)
)
{
if ( index( $_, '//' ) == -1
&& ( my #m = $_ =~ /(?:$_s\s*=\s*(.*))/g ) )
{
my $m = join( '\n', #m );
$m =~ s/[\'\;]//g;
return $m;
}
}
}
}
I have the following regex, that removes ' and ; from the string:
s/[\'\;]//g;
It works alright but if there is a mentioned chars (' and ;) in string - then they are also removed. This is undesirable and that's where I stuck as it gets a bit more complicated for me and I'm not sure how to change the regex above correctly to only:
Remove only first ' in string
Remove only last ' in string
Remove ont last ; in string if exists
Any help, please?
You can use the following to match:
^'|';?$|;$
And replace with '' (empty string)
See DEMO
Remove only first ' in string
Remove only last ' in string
^[^']*\K'|'(?=[^']*$)
Try this .See demo.
https://regex101.com/r/oF9hR9/8
Remove ont last ; in string if exists
;(?=[^;]*$)
Try this.See demo.
https://regex101.com/r/oF9hR9/9
All three in one
^[^']*\K'|'(?=[^']*$)|;(?=[^;]*$)
See Here
You can use this code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$str = "'string; 'inside' another;";
$str =~ s/^'|'?;?$//g;
print $str;
IDEONE demo
The main idea is to use anchors: ^ beginning of string, $ end of string and ;? matches the ";" symbol at the end only if it is present (? quantifier is making the pattern preceding it optional).EDIT: Also, ; will get removed even if there is no preceding '.
I suggest that your original code should look more like this. It is much more idiomatic Perl and I think more straightforward to follow
sub __settings {
my ($_s) = #_;
my $file = "$config_directory/authentic-theme/settings.js";
return unless -r $file;
open my $fh, '<', $file or die qq{Unable to open "$file" for input: $!};
my #file = <$fh>;
chomp #file;
for ( #file ) {
next if m{//};
if ( my #matches = $_ =~ /(?:$_s\s*=\s*(.*))/g ) {
my $matches = join "\n", #matches;
$matches =~ tr/';//d;
return $matches;
}
}
}
