Hello,
Howdy.
I'm rather new to PERL. How do I go about sorting a simple text file using PERL? This is what I want to accomplish.
# sort /etc/passwd > /etc/passwd-new # mv /etc/passwd-new /etc/passwd
Any good reason not to use the above? :)
Well, what would be the steps?
1. open /etc/passwd/ 2. read all entries into memory 3. close /etc/passwd/ 4. sort entries 5. open new file 6. print all entries 7. close new file 8. rename new file
Can you walk down that list replacing it with Perl statements?
James
