Depending on what you are after, there is a number of ways from one-liners to
whatever.
In most basic form, you will need to open file to read, another file to write.
Using the regex or some type of test to determine if a line is to be
re-written to the file or not.
pseudo code:
open(FILEIN, "<$filein) || die "unable to open $filein: $!";
open(FILEOUT,">$fileout) || die "unable to open $fileout: $!";
while ( <FILEIN>) {
next if ( /linetodlete/ ); # if line equals this, then get next line
print FILEOUT $_;
}
close(FILEIN);
close(FILEOUT);
Wags ;)
