help - search a word in a file using SKILL

llobak

Hi,

 This is what I'm trying to do using SKILL:

- open up a file

- search a certain keyword in the file( example: i would like to search the keywork "cell height = 123" so that i can extract the value 123 from the file)

 Can anyone provide me with some help on how to achieve what i hope to do? I'm facing problem because the file that i read from does not have a fix format( this mean that the keyword that i want to search for can be anywhere in the file).

Thanks,

SL

  • Hi SL

    The following skillscript should be able to solve your problem:

    procedure( CCSreadFile(myFile pattern)
       prog( (inPort inLine inLineList)
          inPort=infile(myFile)
          unless( inPort
             printf("%s cannot be opened\n" myFile)
             return(t)
          ) ;unless

          while( gets(inLine inPort)
             if(rexMatchp(pattern inLine) then
                inLine=index(inLine pattern)
                inLineList=parseString(inLine "= ")
                return(nth(2 inLineList))
             ) ;if
          ) ;while
          close(inPort)
          inPort=nil
      ) ;prog
    ) ;procedure

    Load and execute it in ciw using:
    load "readfile.il"
    CCSreadFile("myFile.txt" "cell height")

    It will return the value of cell height. I assumed that the words "cell height = 123" appears only once in the line.
