I guess it gave you a
"/([0-9][0-9]).*PLANNED) /: unmatched () in regexp" error.
Instead of typing code into your message, try cut-and-paste. Avoids
transmission errors from code to message.
Next, the ".*" doesn't match across multiple lines, you should use the
/s modifier for that. perldoc perlre.
I've played around with it and got the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
undef $/;
print $1 if <DATA> =~ /(\d\d:\d\d)(?!.*?\d\d:\d\d:\d\d).*?PLANNED /s;
__DATA__
12:12:96 : Updated test1 . Writing test2.
01:10:97 : test2 done . Started test3.
test4 PLANNED .
However, I feel that this is a bit ugly. I've tried the following
(i.e. without the zero-width negative lookahead), but without success
(it printed 12:12):
print $1 if <DATA> =~ /(\d\d:\d\d).*?PLANNED /s;
I understand that the regex starts matching at the beginning, so it
finds 12:12, but I thought the non-greedy .*? will reduce it to match
01:10. Or is it only non-greedy from the end, but not from the
beginning (sorry for the wording, I hope you know what I mean)?

Ignore me. I've just seen the mistake. There's a ".*" missing at the
start of the regex.

There is a DBI module DBD::Informix available from CPAN:
<http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/DBD/DBD-Informix-0.60.tar.gz>
You will require the Informix Client SDK to compile it however - I have
built it on Linux,SCO,Solaris with success. If you are using Win32 and
dont have access to a compiler then you might be better off using the
Informix ODBC drivers and DBD::ODBC.
Both the ODBC drivers and the Client SDK for a variety of platforms are
now available as a free download from <http://www.intraware.com>.
As far as examples - well I'm part way through moving a bunch of 4GL code
over to Perl but I cant find anything complete but small enough to post -
I'll think about it when I get home ... In the meantime grab the
module and read the documentation ;-} You also might be interested in
the examples at <http://examples.informix.com/cgiTOC.html> .

I've heard of using the DBI:ODBC module, but we already have the ODBC
connection working. I've put flags in my program that ensures that the
script is making a connection with the DSN. The problem occurs when it
trys to send the SQL statement to the database. It either doesn't like
the way the SQL is formatted or I'm doing something wrong. I've tried
every combination of SQL imaginable to man, but nothing has worked.
I'd like to stick to using the Win32 OLE module.
Also, my debug file is coming back empty, so I don't know why it's
erring out.

Not sure what your talking about, but a Perl script will run SQL if
writen correctly!
I've used 1000 different SQL strings to try and get this working and
none has worked. I've tried brackets, quotes, I've even looked at how
my queries are formatted in Access 97 and used the EXACT same string,
but it still will not work.

>From the perlop manpage:
Range Operators
Binary ".." is the range operator, which is really two different
operators depending on the context. In list context, it returns an
array of values counting (by ones) from the left value to the right
value.
[...]
The range operator (in list context) makes use of the magical
auto-increment algorithm if the operands are strings.
The perlop manpage has this to say about magical auto-increment:
The auto-increment operator has a little extra builtin magic to it.
If you increment a variable that is numeric, or that has ever been
used in a numeric context, you get a normal increment. If, however,
the variable has been used in only string contexts since it was set,
and has a value that is not the empty string and matches the pattern
/^[a-zA-Z]*[0-9]*$/, the increment is done as a string, preserving
each character within its range, with carry
Neither "\x00" nor "\x1A" match /^[a-zA-Z]*[0-9]*$/. Both "\x00" and
"\x1A" are treated as 0 when used numerically, so the range operator
thinks it's done.
That said, you can get the strings you want by doing
my @chars = map { chr $_ } 0 .. 26;
Hope this helps,
Greg

Subject: What makes a string lose its quotes in DBI/DBD query.
Message-Id: <7k8f5e$t13$1@taliesin.netcom.net.uk>
I am running a perl script in mod_perl to pull out some records from a MySQL
database through the DBI/DBD interface.
I am trying to a query that looks like this :
$sth = $dbh->prepare (<<END);
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Table
WHERE Cat1 like ? AND
Cat2 like ? AND
Cat 3 like ?
END
I call it with $sth->execute(@params);
@params is an array of (usually) numbers. If a parameter is not specified,
it is replaced with the wildcard '%'.
So the executed statment might look like this :
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Table
WHERE Cat1 like '%' AND
Cat2 like 2 AND
Cat 3 like '%'
This is usually what happens and all is well. However, occasionally (and it
is difficult to reproduce this), the '%' will lose its quotes and the query
will look like this :
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Table
WHERE Cat1 like % AND
Cat2 like 2 AND
Cat 3 like '%'
This generates a syntax error.
Any ideas as to why this might happen? Is the array element being
transferred as a number rather than as a string? Does a % count as a number
in perl? How do I prevent this?
I've tried setting $param[elem]=''.$num; but to no avail.
Thanks

Hi,
Don't know exactly what would cause this behavior, but you may want to take some
additional steps. These would most likely alleviate the problem:
my $sql = qq( SELECT id, name, title, phone
FROM employees
WHERE name LIKE ? );
my $sth = $dbh->prepare( $sql );
$sth->execute();

Well, after 6 months, here's the answer to the quiz: what do we do about
comp.lang.perl.moderated. Answer: nothing.

]It is possible to subscribe to comp.lang.perl.moderated as a mailing list.
]To do so, send mail to majordomo@eyrie.org with "subscribe clpm" in the
]body. Majordomo will then send you instructions on how to confirm your
]subscription. This is provided as a general service for those people who
]cannot receive the newsgroup for whatever reason or who just prefer to
]receive messages via e-mail.
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
