Hi Todd
You could try something like this;
while (my $htmlfile = glob "*.html") { # finds all .html files, and
# performs the substitution on each of them
local $/ = undef; # slurp in the whole file in one go. Not generally
# recommended, but should be OK in this case since
# HTML files are generally not too big. Use it to
# make life easier with newlines etc.
my $substitute = qq!<link rel="stylesheet" href="glob_style.css"
type="text/css">\n</title>!; # This is the text we're going to put in
open IN, $htmlfile;
my $html = <IN>; # put the file into scalar $html
$html =~ s!</title>/$substitute/; # I agree with Akshay that you're
# probably better off just looking for </title>. If
# your headers are as you say, it will make no
# difference anyway.
rename $html, $html.".old"; # Keep a backup of the old html file
open OUT, $htmlfile;
print OUT $html; # Write out the new version of the file
}
I hope this should work. Needless to say it's untested, so please make a
backup first 8-)
Cheers
