Hi,
I want to search for the word "status" in a group of files in a directory and replace it with "status\n^L" where ^L is a page break chatacter, In vi I can type it in using cntrl+l.
I want to do this by
perl -p -i.old -e 's/^STATUS$/STATUS\n(page break character)/' *
How can I "write" the page break character (^L) on command line?
Isn't page break ascii 11, i.e. hex x0B?
Try (after a backup):
perl -p -i.old -e 's/^STATUS$/STATUS\n\x0B/' *
