Hello: I've long used Perl's "in place edit" feature, and understand it and regex fairly well, e.g.:
perl -i -p -e "s/oldhostname/newhostname/g" /etc/hosts However, what is the syntax if I wanted to just process a text stream to stdout?, e.g.: cat /etc/hosts | perl "s/in_text/out_text/g" I'm sure the answer is fairly simple. I'd just like to use perl one liners in place of awk, cut, grep statements (and get all Perls advanced regex capability). $5 PayPal reward for the best answer! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
