On Fri, 14 May 2004 15:53:04 +0600 (YEKST), Victor Porton offered his handy "inplace" script to coreutils, which runs a filter on a file in-place. A couple of replies said there was no need for this as one could do in-place editing with perl or sed, but I think that was misguided, as the point of inplace is that it works with any filter. I just used it with xml_grep:
inplace "xml_grep --exclude 'ul[@class=\"toc\"]' \"\$IN\" > \"\$OUT\"" "$book.xhtml" I attach an updated version of inplace with some bashisms and typos fixed. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
