Greetings;
Just for future reference, the Windows command line is not
good for perl things. The use of quotes and escapes is
mostly undocumented and from experience I can say that even
when you think you have it figured out you will find another
situation where it doesn't work. It only takes a
# this is a script to clean
open(IN,fileToClean.asc) || die can't open!;
while(IN) {
s/Good/Bad/;
print;
}
On the screen I can see that this is working, but when I open the file,
guess what? Nothing has changed! snip ...can anybody figure out what I am
doing
wrong?
I'm still very
That is because you are only printing the changes to the screen. Try this:
open(IN,fileToClean.asc);
while(IN){
s/Good/Bad/;
push @out,$_;
}
close IN;
open(OUT,fileToClean.asc);
print OUT @out;
