The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

regex matching - multiple lines

Asked by lomidien in Bourne-Again Shell (bash), Shell Scripting, Regular Expressions

Tags: , , ,

I've been scratching my head a bit on this one (regex isn't my strong suit).  I am assigning output from a executable to a variable in my script as so:

data=`$XM list -l | sed s/\(//g | sed s/\)//g`; #strip parens

I want to pull out lines matching:

domid
cpu_time

from $data, but I can't figure out exactly how to go about that via a regex.  As the input is not coming in via a file, I don't know how to grab one line at a time and I can't save the output temporarily to a file as that is one of my restrictions.  There are multiple occurrences of the below block in the output I need to parse and I don't know beforehand how many there will be.

How can I take this info and parse it into an array holding the tokens?  The tokens being defined as the line beginning with domid and the line beginning with cpu_time.  I'm under the impression that bash does not have multi-dimensional arrays so I have to store these in 2 arrays, right?
