End-of-line matches

One of the markers included in the input is the end-of-line (eol). The eol is added to the input data by the front end of the adapter. To match an end-of-line, use eol.

The following script matches a word and an end-of-line. Notice that the output is different from many of the previous examples.

• The first difference is that there were no messages for Failed match. All of the data matched.

• The second difference is that there is a space between successive lines of output. This is because the eol match is included as part of the output.

  ASL Script (eol_match.asl):
  START {
   a:{word eol}
  }
  do {
   print("Matched with ".a);
  }
  DEFAULT {
   ..eol
  }
  do {
   print("Failed match");
  }
  Input (eol_match.txt):
  switch
  router
  card
  Output:
  $ sm_adapter --file=eol_match.txt eol_match.asl
  Matched with switch
  Matched with router
  Matched with card
  $
