i am sticking with a problem to replace all words of a file in such a = manner that the first and second word need to interchanged. some thing like ...
100000 100001 20000 20001 ....
so that the output file will be
100001 10000 20001 20000 ....
The easiest way I can think of is:
s/(\S+)(\s+)(\S+)/$3$2$1/g;
That reverses every pair of fields, and retains the whitespace that was between them.
