Re: HOW TO MANIPULATE A TEXT FILE IN PERL
by Old_Gray_Bear (Bishop) on Apr 01, 2014 at 18:45 UTC
    One writes a Perl program that does the following:
    1. Open the input Text file and check for success
    2. Open the output Text file and checks for success
    3. Read the input Text file a line at a time
    4. Perform your manipulation of the text
    5. Write the manipulated line to the output Text file
    6. Read the next line of the input Text file. (Hint: use a Looping construct)
    7. Close input Text file and check for success
    8. Close output Text file and check for success
    9. Turn in you homework assignment
    10. Profit

    Not quite sure what it is, but something tells me that you are trying to get people to do your homework assignment.

    EDIT: and now it's gone!
