I know this is wat off topic but I figure that some one on this list must know the answer to this, I am not very good with sed, and what I need to do is this I want to search through a directory with both files and sub directories, searching for lets say 3 different patterns, and simply do this: if pattern A then perl1.pl if pattern B then perl2.pl if pattern C then perl3.pl that is the easy part, now here is the clincher, I need to stop the process and manualy complete those files that are pattern A AND pattern B OR C but not stop on pattern B AND A OR C Can this be done ?
