Hello, I'm using the following line in Terminal, on OSX Lion, but I can't seem to match parentheses '()':
perl -n -e 'print if(/\\(Submit\\)/)' visits/admin_add.ctp I tried with one backslash in front of each '(' ')' as well to no avail. If I remove the '\'s and '()' the match is printed like so: <?php echo $form->end('Submit');?> My purpose is to make sure I'm matching the correct lines including the '()', then to alter the code to perform a search and replace on the matches). Something like: perl -p -i.bak -e 's/PATTERN/REPLACE/g' INPUT Thanks! Jon
