How can you edit a file inline. I can of course open it and then write it out back to a tmp file. Then rename the files.
But is there a way to do it inline so that perl handles the temp files and cleanup? I have seen tons of examples using the command line but how can you do it in a script. For instance. foreach (glob ("*.pl"){ open ( IN, "<$_" ) or die ("Cannot open file $_ $!\n" ); while (<IN>){ $_ =~ s/dbi:xxx:xxx/dbi:yyy:yyy/; } } Paul Kraus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
