Davina,

I have already bypassed that ****** space issue in my reporter by
inserting 
a newline between each reported fields like :

mminfo .... -r "pool,newline,volume,newline,barcode,newline" 

reported ourput will be :

C:\>mminfo -s server -r "pool,newline,volume,newline,barcode,newline"
 pool
 volume
 barcode

TRU64 UNIX
UNX050


(for pool=TRU64 UNIX, Volume=UNX050, Barcode="")

just skip the amount of line  corresponding to field headers 
then start storing data :


    my $cmd = "mminfo -s ${BACKUP_SERVER} -av -q \"savetime\>=-1 day \" 
       -r \"pool,newline,volume,newline,barcode,newline\"";

    open(REPORT,"$cmd |" ) ;
    $daily_count=0;
    $skip_header = 1;
    while (<REPORT>) {
        chop;
        print $_ if $debug ;
        if( $skip_header ) {
            if( $_ eq "" ) {
                $skip_header = 0;
            }
            next;
        }

        #remove all spaces before and after the field from $_
        s/^\s+//;
        s/\s+$//;
        $daily_count++;
        print $count if $debug ;
        if ($daily_count == 1) {$h_pool = $_}
        if ($daily_count == 2) {$h_volume = $_}
        if ($daily_count == 3) {$h_barcode = $_}
        if ($daily_count == 4) {
              $daily_count=0;
              #start processing here ....
        }
   }
   close REPORT;

Doing so, you will always get 1 field a line and no problem for spaces.

Hope this helps,

Thierry

Well I could do it that way but there are complications. It's in a perl
script for a start. Piping the command into a grep is a bit messy,
although I could let perl do the filtering ( next if /Offsite/; ). Also,
some of my pool names have spaces in them. Yes I know that's poor style
but the spaces were there before I arrived. On top of that the query
will contain another field with spaces in - the save set name. So my
current code that does something like:

($nsavetime,$level,$totalsize,@name) = split;

will have to become a bit more complicated if the pool is in there too.
