I'm having trouble writing a script that will remove the regular
expression "<B>" in a text file in macperl. At first I thought I was
making a programming mistake but I tried the same script in Linux and it
worked as expected; in macperl the <B> will be removed but every line
after the first will be deleted in the output file. I've included the
code as well as the droplet and a sample input file "funerals" in this
email.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
{
foreach $inFile (@ARGV) {
open (INNEWSFILE, $inFile);
open (OUTTEXTFILE,">".$inFile.".txt");
$newsFile = <INNEWSFILE>;
$newsFile =~ s/<B>//g;
print OUTTEXTFILE $newsFile;
close (INNEWSFILE);
}
}
