Hopefully they will answer your questions for you Nathan #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; select( STDERR ); # Makes STDERR the default output stream $| = 1; # Turns off buffering for SELECTED stream, # (redundant here because STDERR is not buffered) select( STDOUT ); # Makes STDOUT the default output stream $| = 1; # Turns off buffering for SELECTED stream print STDERR "\nThis is india\n\n"; # Prints three lines print STDERR "Usage: This is build"; # to STDERR print STDERR "where: base PL label\n"; # # To update your file, you might try this: # open my $file, # Using an indirect filehandle "+<", # Open for read/write "test.txt" or die "Error opening test.txt read/write: $!"; my @lines = <$file>; # Read file contents into the @lines array foreach my $line (@lines) { # Using a named variable instead of $_ $line =~ s/BLR/bangalore/g; print $line; # This will echo each line to STDOUT # remove the line above if you just # want to update the file test.txt } seek $file, 0, 0; # The "magic": This resets the position of # the $file filehandle back to the beginning # of the file. See "perldoc -f seek" for more # options. print $file @lines; # Write the modified lines out to test.txt close $file; # Not strictly necessary; the file will be closed # "automagically" when the variable $file goes # out of scope at the end of the script, but # nice to do anyway -- -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
