( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

There is a conflict between using command line option, switch, '-p' which sets up a loop around the '-e' code and using '@lines=<>' which reads the whole file(s), know as a slurp, into the list. A '-p' loop looks like:

LINE: while (<>) { #readline into $_; diamond operator ...<your '-e' code here>... } continue { print or die "-p destination $!\n"; }

Depending on what you are doing, the following may be better:

perl -pe "last if ($cnt > 50000);$_='' if ($cnt++ < 41900);" data02.lo +g > data03.log

This one-liner prints record 41900..50000, zero relative. It will end on record 50001, which should let you have the target file a little sooner.

Good luck. -c

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
