Hi, Im trying to read a file and once i have found a particular line using a regex i want to write a line of code immediately after that line. Is it the filehandle mode that i am using "+>" that is incorrect?. If this is wrong, what is the easiest way to do it?
Im trying with the code below but am not sure on why i get the following error message: readline() on closed filehandle IPCHAINS at ./ipchains.pl line 6 _________START_____________ open(IPCHAINS,"+>>/etc/syconfig/ipchains"); while($line = <IPCHAINS>) { print "Testing the perl script\n" if $line =~ /^-A input/; } close(IPCHAINS); ___________END______________ Thanks Rob -- Email Disclaimer can be viewed at: http://www.netscalibur.co.uk/email.html -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
