I'm using the following regex using perl to get anything that is not
0.0 but it doesn't work the way I want it, I need to print those that
are not 0.0

The string is:

0.0 19968 admin /bin/bash -l
1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l
0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l
0.0 20363 admin /bin/bash -l

next if $line =~ /^\s0.0/; # skip 0.0
print $line, "\n";

the out put is:
next if $line =~ /^\s0.0/; # skip 0.0

But I all I want is:

1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l
0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l

Anyone out there know how to fix this one?
Thanks in advance..

Please post a short but complete program to show us what you are doing,

Well that depends of the question, the question is very straight
forward, anyway here is portion of the code..again thanks..

my $cmd = "ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args";
my @output = '$cmd';
foreach my $line (@output) {
next if $line =~ /\s0.0/; # skip 0.0
print $line, "\n";
}

First: The dot matches any character in a regexp.
Second: I don't see the caret at the start of the regexp to anchor it.
This will probably result in spurious matches.
Third: The lines will already have newlines on them so the extra one
in the print statement will produce blank lines.

Oh, and fourth: in the original question, I *did* see the caret at the
start, which made the question impossible to answer as such, let alone
straight forward. This is one reason why the best way is to copy-paste
the relevant bits of your code. All characters count.

Hu.. it seems to work just fine.

That prints:

$cmd

which doesn't match your pattern.

Maybe you want:

my @output = `$cmd`;

and

next if $line =~ /^\s0\.0/;

ok, how about this, what if and only if I want to match anything but
not 0.0, since the above doesn't work..if the string as follows, I'm
interested in 0.2 not 0.0.
space 0.0 somewords
space 0.2 somewords

I get all the lines as follows:
0.0 19968 admin /bin/bash -l
1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l
0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l
0.0 20363 admin /bin/bash -l

>my $cmd = "ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args";

On AIX I get two leading spaces before the 0.0
On RHL I get only one space.

You can always change to ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args | grep -v '^ 0.0'

You still don't get it. Your original code did match these lines. You say
it did not work. That does not add up. We're not clairvoyant here, so we
cannot determine what the problem really is. Post a small _but_complete_
program that shows your problem.

F.i.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

while (my $line = <DATA>) {
next if $line =~ /^\s0.0/; # skip 0.0
print $line, "\n";
}

__DATA__
0.0 19968 admin /bin/bash -l
1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l
0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l
0.0 20363 admin /bin/bash -l

This outputs:

1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l

0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l

Which is exactly what I would expect. (Hint, you're missing a chomp
somewhere).

Well, let's start over again:


from Linux if I send following command I get the following output:
[root@MyWorld]#ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args
%CPU PID USER COMMAND
0.0 19968 admin /bin/bash -l
1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l
0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l
0.0 20363 admin /bin/bash -l

My script below supposed to match lines that are not 0.0 such as as
0.2 & 1.0.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
my $cmd = "ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args";
my @output = `$cmd`;

foreach my $line (@output) {
next if $line =~ /^\s0.0/; # skip 0.0
print $line, "\n";
}


The out put I'm getting from the above code is:
%CPU PID USER COMMAND
0.0 19968 admin /bin/bash -l
1.0 20037 admin /bin/bash -l
0.2 20085 admin /bin/bash -l
0.0 20363 admin /bin/bash -l

I used the while loop as Martijn Lievaart suggested above but I don't
get any output at all!
Thanks in advance guys and be patient with me it's Friday..
