How to parse multiple lines using strtok()

Hi,


Here is the sample C program which parse the lines using strtok() function. strtok() behaves very strange way and we need to take care of that. 


Here is the file i need to parse
========================

[root@localhost PGBAR]# more /tmp/.cred.txt
[PGM]Host:127.0.0.1:Port:5434:User:postgres:Database:pgm:Password:postgres
[MONITOR]Host:127.0.0.1:Port:5434:User:postgres:Database:postgres:Password:postgres
[MONITOR]Host:127.0.0.1:Port:5434:User:postgres:Database:postgres:Password:postgres

Here is the C Program written to parse the above lines and need to give the Postgresql Connection String. 

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int Check_Token(char *Token,char *Compare)
{
if(strcmp(Token,Compare)!=0)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Invalid Identifier %s %s",Token,Compare);
return 0;
}
return 1;
}
int Framing_Connection_String(char Line[])
{
char Conn_String[100],*Host,*Port,*Database,*User,*Password,*Search;
Search=strstr(Line,"[PGM]");
if(Search)
{
Host=strtok(Line,"[PGM]Host:");
}
Search=strstr(Line,"[MONITOR]");
if(Search)
{
Host=strtok(Line,"[MONITOR]Host:");
}
Port=strtok(NULL,"Port:");
User=strtok(NULL,":");
if(Check_Token(User,"User"))
User=strtok(NULL,":");
Database=strtok(NULL,":");
if(Check_Token(Database,"Database"))
Database=strtok(NULL,":");
Password=strtok(NULL,":");
if(Check_Token(Password,"Password"))
Password=strtok(NULL,":");
sprintf(Conn_String,"hostaddr=%s port=%s dbname=%s user=%s password=%s",Host,Port,Database,User,Password);
printf("%s\n",Conn_String);
}

int main()
{
FILE *Credfile=fopen("/tmp/.cred.txt","r");
char *File_Buffer=(char *) malloc(2048);
char Delimit[]="\n";
char *Read_File=" ",**Line;
int LN=0,i=0;
fread(File_Buffer,sizeof(char),2048,Credfile);
Line=(char **) malloc(sizeof(char *)*50);
Read_File = strtok(File_Buffer,Delimit);
while(Read_File)
{
Line[LN]=(char *) malloc(strlen(Read_File));
strcpy(Line[LN],Read_File);
Read_File = strtok(NULL,Delimit);
LN++;
}
while(i<LN)
{
Framing_Connection_String(Line[i]);
free(Line[i++]);
}
}

How to compile
============
[root@localhost PGBAR]# gcc -o parsefile parsefile.c

Output
=====
[root@localhost PGBAR]# ./parsefile
hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5434 dbname=pgm user=postgres password=postgres
hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5434 dbname=postgres user=postgres password=postgres
hostaddr=127.0.0.1 port=5434 dbname=postgres user=postgres password=postgres

How To Send E-Mail From PostgreSQL

Hi , If you want to send E-Mails from PostgreSQL, then use the below Python 3.2 Script as below. I have used ActivePython 3.2 with PostgreSQL 9.1 for sending E-Mails from PostgreSQL. If you want to configure the Python 3.2 with PostgreSQL 9.1 then, please refer the below steps. http://manojadinesh.blogspot.in/2012/06/fatal-python-error-pyinitialize-unable.html Once, your Python 3.2 successful then follow the below steps to send an e-mail. Step 1 ===== postgres=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.send_email(_from Text,_password Text,smtp Text,port INT,receiver text, subject text, send_message text) RETURNS TEXT  LANGUAGE plpython3u AS $function$ import smtplib sender = _from receivers = receiver message = ("From: %s\nTo: %s\nSubject: %s\n\n %s"  % (_from,receiver,subject,send_message)) try:   smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP(smtp,port)   smtpObj.starttls()   smtpObj.login(_from, _password)   smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receivers,message) ...

Parallel Operations With pl/pgSQL

Hi, I am pretty sure that, there will be a right heading for this post. For now, i am going with this. If you could suggest me proper heading, i will update it :-) OK. let me explain the situation. Then will let you know what i am trying to do here, and how i did it. Situation here is, We have a table, which we need to run update on “R” no.of records. The update query is using some joins to get the desired result, and do update the table.  To process these “R” no.of records, it is taking “H” no.of hours. That too, it’s giving load on the production server. So, we planned to run this UPDATE as batch process.  Per a batch process, we took “N” no.or records. To process this batch UPDATE, it is taking “S” no.of seconds. With the above batch process, production server is pretty stable, and doing great. So, we planned to run these Batch updates parallel.  I mean, “K” sessions, running different record UPDATEs. Of-course, we can also increase the Batch size ...

Pgpool Configuration & Failback

I would like to share the pgpool configuration, and it's failback mechanism in this post. Hope it will be helpful to you in creating pgpool and it's failback setup. Pgpool Installation & Configuration 1. Download the pgpool from below link(Latest version is 3.2.1).     http://www.pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/Downloads 
2. Untart the pgpool-II-3.2.1.tar.gz and goto pgpool-II-3.2.1 directory. 3. Install the pgpool by executing the below commands:   ./configure ­­prefix=/opt/PostgreSQL92/ ­­--with­-pgsql­-includedir=/opt/PostgreSQL92/include/ --with­-pgsql­-libdir=/opt/PostgreSQL92/lib/ make make install 4. You can see the pgpool files in /opt/PostgreSQL92/bin location. /opt/PostgreSQL92/bin $ ls clusterdb   droplang  pcp_attach_node  pcp_proc_count pcp_systemdb_info  pg_controldata  pgpool pg_test_fsync pltcl_loadmod  reindexdb createdb    dropuser  pcp_detach_node  pcp_proc_info createla...
