Antwort: Edit a file inplace..

Thu, 22 Jul 2004 03:50:19 -0700 

Hi,

didn't we have had this question shortly ?
As I, being a perl-newbie still, remember correctly you need
( at least under windows with active state )
a extension for a backup file !

If I write :
perl -pibak -ne "s/ERROR/TRACKED/g" status.log
it works under win2k with active-state-perl

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards

Hi,

I am trying to edit an ASCII file in place?

I tried ?

      perl -pi -ne "s/ERROR/TRACKED/g" status.log

and received?

      Can't do inplace edit without backup?

Any help is appreciated?

Thanks,

Steve
