With the use of perl regex, if two consecutive lines match than count the number of lines.
I want the number of lines until matches the pattern
D001
0000
open ($file, "$file") || die;
my @lines_f = $file;
my $total_size = $#lines_f +1;
foreach my $line (@lines_f)
{
if ($line =~ /D001/) {
$FSIZE = $k + 1;
} else {
$k++;}
}
Instead of just D001, I also want to check if the next line is 0000. If so $FSIZE is the $file size. The $file would look something like this
00001
00002
.
.
.
D0001
00000
00000
Here is an example. This sets $FSIZE
to undef
if it cannot find the marker lines:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $fn = 'test.txt';
open ( my $fh, '<', $fn ) or die "Could not open file '$fn': $!";
chomp (my @lines = <$fh>);
close $fh;
my $FSIZE = undef;
for my $i (0..$#lines) {
if ($lines[$i] =~ /D0001/) {
if ( $i < $#lines ) {
if ( $lines[$i+1] =~ /00000/ ) {
$FSIZE = $i + 1;
last;
}
}
}
}
