$old = "oldfile.txt";
$new = "newfile.txt";
open(OLD,"$old") or die "Can't Open File: $!";
flock OLD, 2;
open(NEW,>$new) or die "Can't Open File: $!";
flock NEW, 2;
while (<OLD>) {
if ($_ =~ /NO_EMAIL/) {
$count++;
}
else {
print NEW $_;
}
}
close(NEW) or die "Can't Close File: $!";
close(OLD) or die "Can't Close Old: $!";
rename($old,$new);
Is there something inherently wrong with doing it this way?
