I need a one-liner to convert all occurances read from a Unix pipe of 'backslash' + 'literal new line (hex 0a)'
to become just 'literal new line (hex 0a)' That is, remove the '\' only when it preceeds a new-line. Again, this must be read from a pipe. This is what I have so far, but it doesnt do work: cat dfile | perl -pe 'BEGIN { $str = ord(10); } s!\\$str!$str!g' Suggestions?! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
