I want to write a command line perl 'script' to delete one or more lines from a file , by line number
for eg in sed I can do the same in two steps cat FILENAME | sed -e '1,10d' >FILENAME.TMP mv FILENAME.TMP FILENAME The above mechanism has a lot of pitfalls , like maintaining permissions , making sure FILENAME.TMP does not already exist etc. That is why I want to do it with "perl -i " but I dont want to write a full script for this , because I am going to run it on remote machines ( automated ) , and I cant ftp the script everywhere Any suggestions Thanks Ram -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
