RE: problems parsing a DHCP.leases file.

Ryan,

Thanks for the tip however, in this case what I am trying to do (I think) is
find a line that starts with "client-hostname" then match my variable
$hostname to the second thing that the regex matches in that line $1. It
works for the ip address but fails for the hostname. I did try to regex
match but it still returns an undef variable...

you need to match something.

You probably meant:

elsif ($line =~ /^client-hostname\s+"([a-z0-9\-\.]+)"/i) {

On the other hand, there is probably a module that already deals with
this and would save you even more coding time.
