all,
I have in a large niumber of files something like this in a
variety of forms:
CommonFooter.cgi?one /somepath/two blah
CommonFooter.cgi?dada /somepath/lala blah
CommonFooter.cgi?baba /somepath/gaga blah
I have written a perl script which has somewhere in the code
$rc = ($content =~ s/$regfrom/$regto/);
$regfrom and $regto are passed to the script from the command line.
I want to do:
../bin//sitesed.pl -r 'CommonFooter.cgi\?([a-z]*) /somepath/([a-z]*) blah' 'SomeNew/$1
someother/$2'
then it finds all occurences but does not replace it instead I get
.....
SomeNew/$1 someother/$2
.....
If I now hardcode the stuff into it, like:
$rc = ($content =~ s/$regfrom/SomeNew$1 someother$2/);
it does exactly what I want, eg:
.....
SomeNew/one someother/two
.....
It could be two reasons:
* commandline (eg shell)
* perl itself
so I tried
$rc = ($content =~ s/$regfrom/\Q$regto/);
and
../bin//sitesed.pl -r 'CommonFooter.cgi\?([a-z]*) /somepath/([a-z]*) blah'
'\QSomeNew/$1 someother/$2'
or
../bin//sitesed.pl -r 'CommonFooter.cgi\?([a-z]*) /somepath/([a-z]*) blah'
'SomeNew/\$1 someother/\$2'
but nothing helps.
Any ideas??
