perl -ipe "s/yak/bak/g" `dir *.yak` is supposed to allow me to do a search and replace on all the .yak files in the directory in which I am working. It doesn't; I get all sorts of errors. I've tried modifications of said string- I've tried pipes,
I've tried separating the command line parameters with individual dashes, I've tried turning the `dir *.yak` command into a bat file and calling it like: perl -i -p -e "s/yak/bak/g" `dir.bat` All to no avail. Does anyone understand these parameter things well enough to help me? Pc _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
