Ok ... I'm going to try to confuse everyone again because either a) I'm dense or b) I'm asking the wrong question. Everyone can agree with option a, and I will not get mad :). Ok .. here goes again...
I looked at s2p and it spit out 2 pages of perl code of which the sed command was a small bit of code. It is nothing major that I want to do an example is below: I want this ...: Aug 23 14:28:32 Auth.notice: (Access-Request 10.10.116.4 166 "000611-011c0c"): Login OK [000611-011c0c] To be this ...: Aug 23 14:25:32 (Access-Request 10.10.116.4 166 "000611-011c0c"): Login OK Or to make it easier, I want to take out the 'Auth.notice: ' and anything encased in []'s. I dont know if im confusing things more, or if I was pointed in the right direction and I just dont understand. Someone please help this poor confused person figure out WTH he is doing wrong :-D Dave Ketmmann NetLogic 636-561-0680 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 11:04 AM To: Dave Kettmann Cc: Perl List (E-mail) Subject: RE: Sed-type-function > Hmm .. wonder why I didnt see that in any of the books i looked at.

Perl has that, you can use exactly the same syntax -- s/search/replace/g hth Jeff > Guess I will look at the s2p you mentioned as well. > Dave -----Original Message----- From: Randy W.

I found ASED.pm, but would rather go with something built in. I looked around a bit, but didnt find anything. I guess I could go with using the Shell module but would rather using as few modules as possible. I'm not sure what you mean by sed-like function. Perl can do anything sed can do. There is also a script that converts sed to perl, see `perldoc s2p` -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
