# Purpose: # Simple search with Perl for a pattern in some file. # # The advantages compared to thinkable auxiliary constructs using the # mysqltest language and SQL are: # 1. We do not need a running MySQL server. # 2. SQL causes "noise" during debugging and increases the size of logs. # Perl code does not disturb at all. # # The environment variables SEARCH_FILE and SEARCH_PATTERN must be set # before sourcing this routine. # # In case of # - SEARCH_FILE and/or SEARCH_PATTERN is not set # - SEARCH_FILE cannot be opened # the test will abort immediate. perl; use strict; my $search_file= $ENV{'SEARCH_FILE'} or die "SEARCH_FILE not set"; my $search_pattern= $ENV{'SEARCH_PATTERN'} or die "SEARCH_PATTERN not set"; open(FILE, "$search_file") or die("Unable to open '$search_file': $!\n"); while () { if (m{$search_pattern}) { print "Pattern \"$search_pattern\" found\n"; close(FILE); exit; } } close(FILE); print "Pattern \"$search_pattern\" not found\n"; EOF
