Hi all,
Here is the general problem. I have a file that I need to edit but can't.
That file is then fed into another program. Think of the file that I want to
edit is like a makefile, that I want to use after I tweak it a bit. The
general idea would be:
1) Find out what needs to be edited in FILE - DONE
2) Open file and read in the contents. While those are being read in compare
the stuff to be edited looking for the flags. I'm thinking some standard
search and replaces? - DONE (I THINK:))
3) Now after my edits have been inputed, how do I automatically invoke my
app using this new "buffer" - HELP!!
Here is what I think I need :
<snip>
my $APP ="/bin/someapp"
open (FILE, "file.txt") || die "Can't access file\n";
while (<CELL>) {
s/INPUT\ FILE.*/INPUT\ FILE\ $VARIABLE/;
#replace the default with my option
}
$APP CELL &; #<<-- This is just a guess?? Basically disconnect and run?
<snip>
Is this the right idea? Is there a better way to do this?? Can someone
complete this picture for me, I would really appreciate it
