Ahhh .. how I long for the good old days.
Speaking of that, there was a post yesterday on
comp.lang.perl.misc asking about a one-liner to
reverse the lines in a file in-place. So the input
file itself must be modified and no other files must
be created.
I came up with this:
perl -aF"\n" -lp0 -i -e '$_=join$\,[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in.file
But then, I remembered Eugene's (in)famous solution to
reverse sort, but couldn't get it to work:
perl -pi -e '$x=$_.$x}{$_=$x' in.file
This prints to screen, not back to the file.
Any takers?
