hello folks, I'm trying to use cmd line perl -e to do some fairly basic sed-style find/replace. Was able to get first few things working but stumbled when I wanted to do the following....
- given an i/p (piped o/p from a previous perl -e cmd on DOS) of... dtor_list.obj: newnothrow.obj: vars.obj: _lock.obj: ...then if regex match w/ any lines in file all_fxns.txt of form... /* array_del.obj: */ -u ___dla__FPv /* array_nonew.obj: */ -u ___nwa__FUiRCQ2_3std9nothrow_t /* dtor_list.obj: */ -u ___already_marked_for_destruction /* memzero.obj: */ -u ___memzero ...then replace entry in all_fxns.txt w/ a blank line So... /* dtor_list.obj: */ -u ___already_marked_for_destruction ...should get replaced w/ an empty line. This .pl does the job just fine.... my $all_syms_file = "all_fxns.txt"; open (SYMSINFO, "<$all_syms_file") or die "Cannot open $all_syms_file: $!"; my @syms_info = <SYMSINFO>; close SYMSINFO; while (my $bss_sym = <>) { chomp($bss_sym); for (my $ctr = 0; $ctr < scalar(@syms_info); $ctr++) { $syms_info[$ctr] = "\n" if ($syms_info[$ctr] =~ $bss_sym); } } print @syms_info; ...but I'd like a (somewhat convoluted perhaps) 1-liner w/ perl -e cmd-liner. Seems like it should be feasible in 1/10th the code. Any thots? Many thanks indeed, Alan ----- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru.
