Solved Need to parse large conf files
-
Switching to PHP because the shell script is having issues, i assume because some characters are breakout out of the string variables.
-
quite late here... sorry I've just an half backed solution:
grep -e "^exten\|^[\|^;;" filenamethis doesn't retain any structure but extracts any line beginning with [...] or exten or ;;
unfortunately comments are shown regardless of their usefulness...maybe pocking with awk would lead to better results... but I really need to sleep!

grep -e "^exten\|^[\|^;;" filenameThat is the ballpark, but many lines are comments that are not needed.
I was simply going to loop down the file each time through the loop putting the previosu line back one vairable. that part was simple.
The catching the
exten => STUFF,1is the harder part. it HAS to be that full syntaxt. -
Jared, will this do as a test file?

Close enough. I just moved your original sample code to the server as a starting point. (no PHP installed on my laptop to test locally).

Let me just make some changes and test it on the test file. And I'll post it again.
PS. And what do you want the output to look like?

The catching the exten => STUFF,1 is the harder part. it HAS to be that full syntaxt.
no it is simple with regex IF the line is:
exten => bla,1,bla
try:
^exten => .*,1,.*$ -
@Pete-S said in Need to parse large conf files:
And what should the end result look like?
more or less this
[context 1] ; comment line -3 if it exists ; comment line -2 if it exists ; comment line -1 if it exists exten => STUFF,1,STUFFrepeat for dial plans and context appropriately.

100% those are the only exten lines I want.

All the comment lines or just the last/first three?

i was just going with the up to three lines after the first visual scan of the files.

Is it possible to have
exten => bla,2,bla?? -

@Pete-S if the php code works for @JaredBusch , just substitute the search part with the provided regex.

@JaredBusch Could you check that you can run command line php on the server?
Just executephp -vand you'll get the version.At least on debian you need to have php-cli package and I don't know if you do.
-
@JaredBusch
Also is it just one conf file you need to search through or many in the same directory ? -

I can.

Also is it just one conf file you need to search through or many in the same directory ?many. but feeding that into a loop is simple once I work this out.

I had file scanning already in the example file but can take it out. The reason I'm asking is if you need to have the filename too in the "report" for each extension?

Yes. but why i dunno. this is all a hand coded mess when compared to standards.
It is all perfectly valid syntax. and there are comments all over. but jsut wow.
