Re: parser

Thank you all for spending time on give me some interesting solutions and
examples on problem that I'm facing. Original, I was thinking that there
might be already an open source utility that works like scott's
http_url_post_xml procedure where the developer simply provides a call back
procedure to receive the result into parsed format. But all those qshell
examples sure looks easy to do also.

thanks

my unix skill is minimum at best. Can you please give me a bit more clue
on what you mean? I'm currently think about using your readline utility
to read the file one line at a time and then parse it.

Thanks

QShell might work -- depending on the specifics.

But with the example you posted, if it were sourced into a shell script,
it would be loaded into variables.

I've a ifs file with content like below:
EWREST_id_0='861';
EWREST_wfstate_0='Open';
EWREST_summary_0='SummSumm -TW';
EWREST_boss_ciss_customer_no_0='1234';
EWREST_id_1='761';
EWREST_wfstate_1='Open';
EWREST_summary_1='Test -TW';
EWREST_boss_ciss_customer_no_1='123456789';

Each line basically contains a key-value pair data. Does anyone know if
there is already an open source utility that can read and parse this
type of
data file where caller can basically ask for a pair of data at a time?

thanks
