Re: perl onliner on multiple files

This (untested) may do what you want:

perl -nE"/: / and $c+= (split/: /)[0]; if( eof(ARGV) ){ say qq[SUM.$AR
+V =$c]; $c=0 }" tmp_*
[download]

-n:
provides the while(<>){} loop.
the if( eof(ARGV) )
checks for the end of each individual file, prints the results and resets $c to 0.
$ARGV:
gives you the names of the individual files in the output.

Not from Perl you don't. That must be coming from your shell. Try switching the quotes if you are on linux. Ie: `perl -nE'/: / and $c+= (split/: /)[0]; if( eof(ARGV) ){ say qq[SUM.$AR +V =$c]; $c=0 }' tmp_` [download] If you are a perl/nix user, you ought to know that.

In a bash shell, I get: `$ perl -nE "/: / and $c += (split/: /)[0]; if( eof(ARGV) ){ say qq[SUM +.$ARGV =$c]; $c=0 }" tmp_* syntax error at -e line 1, near "+=" syntax error at -e line 1, near "; =" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.` [download] And: `$ c=10 $ echo c c $ echo $c 10 $ echo "The total is: $c" The total is: 10 $ echo 'The total is: $c' The total is: $c` [download] So within double quotes, the shell expands $variables, which of course happens before the shell hands the text over to the perl command. That is similar to the way the shell expands your glob: tmp_* and replaces it with a list of file names, which is what the perl command ends up seeing.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

ok. i figured that out...but since i was using perl version 5.8, the -E option and "say" keyword were not recognized. Once i use the perl version 5.10 and above...the above line works exactly the way i want it to. Thanks a lot.	[reply]
