Get timestamps between 8am to 5pm from timestamps list - date

I have a list of extracted date timestamps. From this list I want to print timestamps between 8AM to 5PM foreach date/time. But my code below does not produce any output.

open(IN, "<" ,"$file") or die "Couldn't open file $!";
open(OUT, ">" ,"_trash/tmp/raw/0-out.txt") or die "Couldn't open file $!";
my #content = <IN>;

print if $h >= 8 && $h < 17;

combining multiple greps on to a a perl script

sub logProcessing {
my $logpath = $File::Find::dir;
my $logfile = $_;
if ( $File::Find::name =~ m!$logDir/(.*?)/$pattern! and -d $File::Find::dir ) { $dirCount++ };
if ( $File::Find::name =~ m!$logDir/(.*?)/$pattern! and -f $File::Find::name ) { $fileCount++ };
if ( $File::Find::name =~ m!$logDir/(.*?)/$pattern! and -f $File::Find::name ) {
my $errorsSeen = `grep 'Errno 110' $File::Find::name|uniq`;
if ($errorsSeen ne "") {
$errorCount++;
my $hostname = $1;
my $lastModTime = localtime ( (stat $File::Find::name)[9] );
printf FILE "%3s %20s %50s %30s %50s\n", $hostname, 'Errno 110', $logpath, $logfile, $lastModTime;
}
else {
$nullCount++
}
}
}
The above is a code snippet from a Perl script which actually searches a bunch of log files and does a pattern search and prints a summary and sent it as a mail with attachment.
Wanted to refine the search for 3 patterns and don't want to increase the number of grep statement as the log files are 10k per day and that will increase the runtime of the script which now completes in approx 10 minutes.
As of now it searches 'Errno 110' but wants to add a combination of 'Errno 110', 'Errno 13' & 'Errno 43' and print the summary accordingly and as you see in the printf statement 'Errno 110' is hardcoded.

Perl script to convert xls to csv

This script coverts xls to csv ok.
The challenge is that it does not convert blank cell in the xls to blanks in csv file.
Any help is appreciated: UPDATED SCRIPT
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Text::CSV;
my $sourcename = shift #ARGV or die "invocation: $0 <source file>\n";
my $source_excel = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
my $source_book = $source_excel->Parse($sourcename)
or die "Could not open source Excel file $sourcename: $!";
my $storage_book;
foreach my $source_sheet_number (0 .. $source_book->{SheetCount}-1) {
my $source_sheet = $source_book->{Worksheet}[$source_sheet_number];
print "--------- SHEET:", $source_sheet->{Name}, "\n";
next unless defined $source_sheet->{MaxRow};
next unless $source_sheet->{MinRow} <= $source_sheet->{MaxRow};
next unless defined $source_sheet->{MaxCol};
next unless $source_sheet->{MinCol} <= $source_sheet->{MaxCol};
foreach my $row_index ($source_sheet->{MinRow} .. $source_sheet->{MaxRow}) {
foreach my $col_index ($source_sheet->{MinCol} .. $source_sheet->{MaxCol}) {
my $source_cell = $source_sheet->{Cells}[$row_index][$col_index];
if ($source_cell && $source_cell->Value) {
#print "( $row_index , $col_index ) =>", $source_cell->Value, "\t;";
print $source_cell->Value, ";";
}
else
{
print ";"
}
}
}
}
sample excel
EFG KDD ABS JME
FGO POP JET
converted as:
EFG;KDD;ABS;JME;
FGO;POP;JET;
but it should be:
EFG;KDD;ABS;JME;
FGO;;POP;JET;
You have to check if the value of the cell is initialized, not the cell it self.
Change:
if ($source_cell) {
#print "( $row_index , $col_index ) =>", $source_cell->Value, "\t;";
print $source_cell->Value, ";";
}
To:
if ($source_cell && $source_cell->Value) {
#print "( $row_index , $col_index ) =>", $source_cell->Value, "\t;";
print $source_cell->Value, ";";
} else {
print ";";
}
should work.
UPDATE:
foreach my $row_index ($source_sheet->{MinRow} .. $source_sheet->{MaxRow}) {
foreach my $col_index ($source_sheet->{MinCol} .. $source_sheet->{MaxCol}) {
my $source_cell = $source_sheet->{Cells}[$row_index][$col_index];
if ($source_cell && $source_cell->Value) {
print $source_cell->Value.";";
} else {
print ";";
}
}
print "\n";
}

General advice:
Don't use backticks to parse your input. Perl is perfectly capable of doing this with a while loop and split.
Misspelling variable names is going to screw you. Don't. isSubscriptionHeaderPresesnt
mixing your open calls - 3 argument with lexicals is generally preferred, but mismatching isn't nice.
Using the text string "false" in lieu of a boolean is horrible. Don't do it. Someone someday is going to do the equivalent of print "true" if "false" and it's going to break.
The most 'expensive' operation your script will be doing is reading the files. That's almost always true. So find something other than syscalls to grep or sed require full-rereading of the files you're targeting. Assuming subscriptionFile and subscriberFile are your biggies, you're reading them multiple times - you're running a cut that reads the whole thing. A dos2unix that reads the whole thing. A grep that reads the whole thing. And then you're opening it, and reading the whole thing.
your last line is a sed which will... re-read your output file, entirely, and apply a line by line transform to it.

Searching string in a multiline file using perl

I'm trying to find a match in a multi-line string using this script.
It works only when there's one row in the destination file.
I would like to know if there's any substitution for $_ in order to search a multi-line text?
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $time=`date +%D_%H:%M`;
chomp($time);
my $last_location=`cat /file.txt`;
chomp($last_location);
open (ERRORLOG, ">>/errors.log") || die "failed to open errorlog file \n$!\n\a";
open (MESSAGES, "</logfile") || die "failed to open alarms file \n$!\n\a";
seek(MESSAGES, 0, 2) || die "Couldn't seek to pos: 0 at end of file $!\n";
$end_position = tell(MESSAGES);
if ($end_position < $last_location) {
$last_location=0;
}
if ($end_position > $last_location) {
seek(MESSAGES, $last_location, 0) || die "Couldn't seek to pos: $last_location $! \n";
$num_of_messages_sent=0;
while (<MESSAGES>) {
chomp;
$line_to_check $_;
if ($line_to_check =~ /some text/ ) {
print ERRORLOG "$time: $line_to_check \n";
if ($num_of_messages_sent < 4) {
do something;
}
if ($num_of_messages_sent == 4) {
do something;
}
#increase counter
$num_of_messages_sent = $num_of_messages_sent + 1;
}
}
$last_location = tell(MESSAGES);
# print "last: $last_location , end: $end_position \n";
`echo $last_location >/file_last_location.txt`;
}
close (ERRORLOG);
close (MESSAGES);
Looks better this way:
while (my $line = <MESSAGES>) {
chomp($line);
print "line : $line\n";
if ($line =~ m!your_regexp_here!i){
print ERRORLOG "$time: $line_to_check \n";
$num_of_messages_sent++;
print "\tMATCH\tline: $line\n";
if ($num_of_messages_sent < 4){
print "Found $num_of_messages_sent matches\n";
}
}
}

How to make padding of a structure using Perl

I am creating a structure from the data below which will be in a text file
BO_ 82 Sim_Tracker_Objects3: 8
SG_ CAN_Trk_Obj_Sim_Enable : 60|4#1+ (1,0) [0|1]
SG_ CAN_Trk_Obj_Curvi_Long_Vel : 32|12#1+ (0.1,-200) [-200|200]
SG_ CAN_Trk_Obj_Curvi_Lat_Vel : 48|12#1+ (0.1,-200) [-200|200]
SG_ CAN_Trk_Obj_Curvi_Long_Posn : 0|16#1+ (0.01,-200) [-200|200]
SG_ CAN_Trk_Obj_Curvi_Lat_Posn : 16|16#1+ (0.01,-200) [-200|200]
The Perl script I am using to generate structure is as below
but I want it to be structure padded; how can I do it?
open (DBC, "test.txt")|| die "cant open dbc $!";
#test = <test>;
close (DBC);
