I am a total newbie in perl
I have a html file with some junk after </html? So I am trying to clean it. This is how I started out. Its inside a unix shell script so I must test on a command line like this: % cat file.html | perl -ne '{$/="</HTML>" ; if ($_ =~ m#</html>#i) { print $_ } }' OK I wrote it by imitating other examples. I dont know why I use switch -n . These are not described in man perl. It only lists all switches in syntax line. It always miss the top line. I am sure you have many variants of this to teach this dumb newbie. gnuist -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
