{name {
[0]{name "EMS",value "LSN/EMS_XDM_5"},
[1]{name "ManagedElement",value "4430"}
}


The required format is name  value
                                   EMS     LSN/EMS_XDM_5
                                   M         44

(I require the syntax for collecting the values into an array .And also when multiple arrays exists)
(  i am reading data from a log file.and I have to store in another file)


You were asked to provide your existing perl code in your other post. As Graham said, this is a technical help forum, not a script writing service. Please post your exisiting perl code.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$LOGFILE = "extr.log";
open(LOGFILE) or die("Could not open log file.");
foreach $line (<LOGFILE>) {
   
   ($name, $value) = split(' ',$line);
   
   chop($name);
   chop($value);
   }
close(LOGFILE);
(I asked the syntax for collecting data from an array,not for the script)

Sorry, I don't think I can help you. I have little to no idea what your question is. Maybe somene else will understand you.

I'm starting to see a pattern with
EMS     LSN/EMS_XDM_5
being extracted from
[0]{name "EMS",value "LSN/EMS_XDM_5"},

but I don't see how you decide that you need to extract
M         44
from
[1]{name "ManagedElement",value "4430"}

I could write you a regular expression of something to do either or both of the extractions (are you familiar with regular expressions?) but rather better I think for you to come along here on Monday, 7th January and make it a long day - I'm quite happy to cover specific and help you in to the evening at no extra charge



Graham, the link you posted appears to be incorrect:

Thanks, Kevin .... serves me right for advertising my own training courses.   It should have been http://www.wellho.net/course/refull.html ... and I have now corrected the original too.
