Hi Trevor,
Does the pattern "h.*.JPG" match something like this: h.abc123.JPG ?
Since the period "." is a metacharacter in regular expressions. If that's
the case, then a perl script like this would work:
while (<>) {
s/h\.(.*)\.JPG/$1.h.JPG/g;
print;
}

[vox-tech] Using awk or perl to find and replace
I have been reading the man pages and I'm lost. I want to scan through an input file for an expression with this pattern: h.*.JPG and replace it with an expression with the following pattern: *.h.JPG Perl and awk both appear to be ideal candidates for just such a task but I'm a serious newbie to both of 'em.

[vox-tech] Slack 10 print problem solved
Thanks again to all for their time, effort and input. Thanks especially to Ken Bloom for persevering with finding the ultimate solution. I don't know why uncommenting the required entries in the rc.modprobe file did not work; but, as Ken suggested, I put the modprobe parport_pc and modprobe lp where Slackware would find them on startup. I chose rc.local since it is my hack of the problem and it seems to me to be a logical choice. Manually editing the /edit/cups/printers.conf failed to produce print output. And, the parallel port choice still does not show in the http://localhost:631/admin Device screen. However, the KDE printer setup was able to do its magic and produced the Cups Printer Test Page. A document was subsequently printed from ABIWord so at last all is well. Thanks again to all. Bill Wells ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
