hello i need to detab a bunch of files in a bunch of directories.
this script: #!/usr/bin/perl -pi s/\t/ /; will do what i want when a supply the files as arguments from the commandline. i have a script that traverse all directories from a specfied starting point. so when i recursively get to a new file i wish to detab that file on the fly as if i had supplied the filename as an argument sub recursion { ... if (-f $specfile ) { # detab code goes here } ... # next file/dir } is that possible still using the -i switch? ../allan
