What have you tried? Have you seen the -i option? -----Original Message----- From: stu meacham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 2:33 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: regex one liner
I would like to modify a file 'in place' at the command line with regexes. The file changes daily and is messy. Can one negate a regex itself as opposed to a class of regular expressions? If I could remove everything but that selected by m/\d{2}\t\d{2}\t\d{2}/g life would be better as I know it.
