[Xastir] Time stamping?

[J. Lance Cotton]

I'm definitely no Perl hacker, but I coded up this bit of perl which opens up 
a file called 'tnc.log', prepends each non-timestamp line with the most 
recent timestamp entry and a tab character, and writes the new line out to a 
file called 'tnc_processed.log'.

----------------------SNIP-------------------
$inputfile = "<tnc.log";
$outputfile = ">tnc_processed.log";
my $currtime;

open inputfile or die "Can't open file $inputfile: $!\n";
open outputfile or die "Can't open file $inputfile: $!\n";
while ($line = <inputfile>) {
  if ($line =~ /^# .*/) {
    chomp($line);
    $currtime = $line;
    print $currtime."\n";
  }
  else {
    print outputfile $currtime . "\t" . $line;
  }
}

close inputfile;
close outputfile;
----------------------SNIP------------------

I am positive it can be done in one or two lines, but I don't breathe Perl ;-)
