Re: Preprocessing print statements

two alternative approaches:

a) If you are OK with buffering, you can still use select with a filehandle opened to a \$scalar and filter the scalar before printing. This has the advantage of minimal changes.

b) Personally I'd prefer my own out() routine - closing over a regex var - to replace all needed prints. That'll give you finer control over the single print chunks.

Thank you. Could you please provide a sample code snippet? I am not entirely clear how to do what you suggest.	[reply]

for which part? replacing `print` with a sub `out()` should be straight forward. Opening a FH to a var is described in open#Opening-a-filehandle-into-an-in-memory-scalar and you already mentioned `select` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
