Hi list, I'm trying to read a file and I cant see why it wont.. Here is a spot of code I used for debugging. It should print out the file (right?):
*snip* open MSTROCN, ">>/tmp/ocndir/master-ocn.txt"; while ( <MSTROCN> ) { print "$_"; } *snip* Eventually I want any existence of "NPA-NXX\tOcn " to be deleted out which should be done with a regex of: s/NPA-NXX\tOcn // correct? I have looked thru tutorials on the web, and they say that $_ is the current line of the file in a while statement (or that is what I gathered) and It wont print out my file. Any help is appreciated.
