problem with special chars at stats.log

[ZyanKLee]

hey, I have some problems parsing the stats.log regarding special chars and/or charset conversion:

logfile looks like this - for example:

:player:-666:0:1149:13:ZyanKLee
:player:30:23:1139:4:��� ��
�:player:28:30:1133:12:^4d^1r^0@^1c^4o^7

first problem is all those special chars. second problem is breaking of line beginning through one of those chars that is interpreted as a linefeed.

someone knows how to work around this?

Convert the characters in player names to bytes. They will then correspond to this array:

Code: Select all

' ', '#', '#', '#', '#', '.', '#', '#',
'#', 9, 10, '#', ' ', 13, '.', '.',
'[', ']', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5',
'6', '7', '8', '9', '.', '<', '=', '>',
' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', '\'',
'(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/',
'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7',
'8', '9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?',
'@', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G',
'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O',
'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W',
'X', 'Y', 'Z', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_',
'`', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g',
'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o',
'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w',
'x', 'y', 'z', '{', '|', '}', '~', '<',
'<', '=', '>', '#', '#', '.', '#', '#',
'#', '#', ' ', '#', ' ', '>', '.', '.',
'[', ']', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5',
'6', '7', '8', '9', '.', '<', '=', '>',
' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', '\'',
'(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/',
'0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7',
'8', '9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?',
'@', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G',
'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O',
'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W',
'X', 'Y', 'Z', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_',
'`', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g',
'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o',
'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w',
'x', 'y', 'z', '{', '|', '}', '~', '<'

many thanks to you. this helped me really a lot.

now the lines look like this:

:player:-666:0:1149:13:ZyanKLee
:player:30:23:1139:4:C/B?B=C/B?B=C/B?B=C/B?B=C/B?B=10C/B?B=
:player:28:30:1133:12:^4d^1r^0@^1c^4o^7


first and last lines are (and where) easy - last one is dr@co with color-codes. but what about the playername in the middle line?

"C/B?B=C/B?B=C/B?B=C/B?B=C/B?B=10C/B?B="

perhaps my code is not optimal:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

$string=':player:-666:0:1149:13:ZyanKLee
:player:30:23:1139:4:��� ��
�:player:28:30:1133:12:^4d^1r^0@^1c^4o^7';

@string = split ":", $string;
foreach $str (@string) {
        chomp $str;
        @array=split / */, $str;
        @chararray = ( ' ', '#', '#', '#', '#', '.', '#', '#','#', 9, 10, '#', ' ', 13, '.', '.','[', ']', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5','6', '7', '8', '9', '.', '<', '=', '>',' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', '\'','(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/','0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7','8', '9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?','@', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G','H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O','P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W','X', 'Y', 'Z', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_','`', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g','h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o','p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w','x', 'y', 'z', '{', '|', '}', '~', '<','<', '=', '>', '#', '#', '.', '#', '#','#', '#', ' ', '#', ' ', '>', '.', '.','[', ']', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5','6', '7', '8', '9', '.', '<', '=', '>',' ', '!', '"', '#', '$', '%', '&', '\'','(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/','0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7','8', '9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?','@', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G','H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O','P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W','X', 'Y', 'Z', '[', '\\', ']', '^', '_','`', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g','h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o','p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w','x', 'y', 'z', '{', '|', '}', '~', '<' );

        foreach $char (@array) {
                $ordchar = ord $char;
                print $chararray[$ordchar];
        }
        print "\n";
}

Did you copy-paste your test data? Since i can't find any problem in your code i guess you did... Copying might screw up the characters (due to charset conversions). You should check with a hexeditor if the bytes really match those in your server log.

[ZyanKLee]

yeah, that may be the reason - perhaps I just add this to the real parser and have a look at what comes out of it.


[EDIT]
It works, thanks a lot for your support.
