in thread in place editing a list of files

davidrw hats of to u sir

shell-independent method: perl -i.bak -0777 -pe 's/CONFIDENTIAL(.*?)own\s+risk/ /s' `cat /home/rjs/heena/edit`

you single line of code has done all the magic . just one more update i require from u , will this piece of code work fine when incorporated with another perl script

    depends what "incorporated" means ..

    does this need to be invoked from inside another script? if so obviously just can't copy/paste verbatim (could dump it in a system call, though maybe not ideal method) ..

    or does this just need to be called right before/after another perl script? if so, could just wrap the two calls in a shell script ...

    otherwise, write a sub that sets $^I, @ARGV, $/, and runs the loop that -n or -p does (see perlrun)
