Hi,
I'm trying to search a file for several matching blocks of text. A sample
of what I'm searching through is below.
What I want to do is match "# START block #" through to the next
"# END block #" and repeat that throughout the file without
matching any of the text that falls be
Good question. I went to a script right away after the difficulty with the
one-liner and returned to the command line syntax problem more out of curiosity
than anything else. I'm a fan of the command line because once I get one that
works all I need is the 'history' command and an up arrow key

I wasn't trying to be rude but Perl was developed and evolved in UNIX;

BTW, out here in the real world (that would be UNIX), *.pl stands for
Perl Library file, not a script.
What extension do you suggest using, if any, in the real world?

No. With alias, I can create an alias file that works with sh (and ksh,
bash) and csh (and tcsh). This would be dot'ed in your .profile as:
. ~/.alias
or source'd in your .cshrc as:

I tried one final time with non-capturing parentheses i.e. (?: to no
avail.
This works just fine however:
perl -i -p -e '@matches = m/\d{2}\t\d{2}\t\d{2}/g; s/.*//g;
print"@matches\n"'

Retrieve, delete what's left, and rewrite what's to be kept. It should now
work everytime all the time. C

I would like to modify a file 'in place' at the command line with
regexes.
I would like to modify a file 'in place' at the command line with regexes. The
file changes daily and is messy. Can one negate a regex itself as opposed to a
