[SOLVED] Search for a pattern in a file and print it in jruby

Search for a pattern in a file and print it in jruby

I have a file with n number of lines. I need to search for a field(SessionId and its value) in it and print its corresponding value.

I have coded to access the file and print it line by line. Need help in getting a field and printing its value.

Sample lines of file:

LastSessionTeardown.cc|598|Resolving:=N2BBSessionGateway.Factory
2013-12-23 06:03:22.488046 UTC VZ_QIP_S3_208 LastSessionTeardown.cc|636 <ERROR>:Failed     to resolve SessionGateway:N2BBSessionGateway.Factory

Note : the file has lots of lines above and below the field specified

Code:

require "java"

include_class "java.io.BufferedReader"
include_class "java.io.FileReader"
include_class "java.lang.String"

fileReader = FileReader.new "protocoltiming.log.txt"

bufferReader = BufferedReader.new fileReader
str = bufferReader.readLine

while str
puts str.to_s
str = bufferReader.readLine
 end

Kindly help me on what to be added to this code?

Solution

while str
  str = bufferReader.readLine
  session_id = str.strip.scan(/SessionId: (.+)\s/)[0][0] if str.include?("SessionId: ")
  if session_id
    # session_id found
  else
    # session_id not found
  end
end

There is actually no need to loop through the lines. You can just read the file and use regular-expression to find required text. But whatever suits your cat. Sometimes reading whole file could be really problematic if it is too big.
