Re^2: Copy rows of file to new document

My folder of files is 'c:\vehicles'. The file I want to write to is 'vehicles.txt' and located in 'c:\'. I tried the following code work for what you suggested. I know I've written it wrong. What should I do to correct it?

C:\vehicles $ ls -A | xargs head -qn 30 | perl -Mstrict -wne  'if( $ +
+_ =~ /(make)|(model)|(year)/ ) { print "$_"; }' > vehicles.txt
grep -rE "(make|model|year)" c:

What is `$ +_`? Do you mean `$_`? If so, then you can omit it and use just: `'if( /(make)\|(model)\|(year)/ ) { print "$_"; }'`. Whether that fixes all your problems I doubt; but its one less to deal with. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Please don't change the title of a node/thread. If you must, add something to the title (at the end).	[reply]
