Perl Script for Automated Searcher of Keywords

• 

  Perl Script

Inspiration

There are instances wherein we are presented with multiple data log files and we are only interested in searching “keywords” or “parameters” that we need.There are many ways to do it like running doing the FIND syntax in CMD prompt (http://ss64.com/nt/find.html) but this limits us to searching only 1 keyword at a time.This script will let the user read the entire datalogs saved in a folder and create a summarized list wherein the keywords (and the entire line wherein the keyword is residing) are found in.

What it does

It opens multiple files, look for user-defined keywords and then display a summarized list of all searched items found in each file.
