G'day kulua,

Welcome to the Monastery.

"I am new to perl."

As a first step, please read "perlintro: Perl introduction for beginners". It's not particularly long and will provide you with a basic understanding of the language. It's also peppered with links to more detailed information and advanced topics: use those as the need arises.

Next, bookmark the "Perl Online Documentation". Initially, I'd suggest just familiarising yourself with the basic sections: it's a reference work; there's no expectation that you should read it in its entirety.

"I search in the internet for perl code . ... What should be the modified code."

Well, I don't know what search criteria you used, but you've posted what looks like some variety of Bourne shell code.

Here's some fully-functional Perl code that achieves your stated objectives using the input data you provided:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

my $in_file = 'pm_11132903_input.txt';
my $out_file = 'pm_11132903_output.txt';
my $format = ".%s(%s),\n";

{
    open my $in_fh, '<', $in_file;
    open my $out_fh, '>', $out_file;

    while (<$in_fh>) {
        if (/^(rist_top_\w+)/) {
            printf $out_fh $format, ($1) x 2;
        }
        else {
            print $out_fh $_;
        }
    }
}

# Just for testing and demonstration
print "*** INPUT: $in_file ***\n";
system cat => $in_file;
print "*** OUTPUT: $out_file ***\n";
system cat => $out_file;
[download]

Output:

*** INPUT: pm_11132903_input.txt ***
module abc(
rist_top_tck,
rist_top_tdi,
rist_top_tdo,
*** OUTPUT: pm_11132903_output.txt ***
module abc(
.rist_top_tck(rist_top_tck),
.rist_top_tdi(rist_top_tdi),
.rist_top_tdo(rist_top_tdo),

This is not "modified code" since the code you have presented is not Perl at all. However here is just one of the many, many ways to achieve this in Perl.

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Path::Tiny;

my @r = path (shift)->lines;
s/(.*),$/.$1($1),/ for @r[1..$#r];
$r[-1] =~ s/,$/);/;
print @r;
[download]

And if you save it to a file called double.pl here is how it runs:

$ cat input.txt 
module abc(
rist_top_tck,
rist_top_tdi,
rist_top_tdo,
$ ./double.pl input.txt
module abc(
.rist_top_tck(rist_top_tck),
.rist_top_tdi(rist_top_tdi),
.rist_top_tdo(rist_top_tdo));
$
[download]

See the docs for Path::Tiny, s/// and print for more.

Can't locate Path/Tiny.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at abc.pl line 4.

You don't have Path::Tiny installed yet. Fortunately the Monastery has a number of tutorials regarding Installing Modules.

This means you need to install the Path::Tiny module. Use cpanm Path::Tiny. If you don't yet have cpanm, install it following the instructions at https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus#INSTALLATION.

Hope this helps!



The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

repeats=2
while read line; do yes $line|head --lines=$repeats; done < infile > o

This is not Perl code. It looks like some kind of shell script.

Here's another approach to the problem that uses a script rather than a one-liner. I'm assuming you know how to handle file input/output, so this is just an example of a regex. This code needs Perl version 5.10 or greater; if you have an earlier version of Perl, a fix can be supplied.

my $data = <<'EOD';

open my $fh, '<', \$data;

while (my $line = <$fh>) {
    $line =~ s{ \A (\w+) \K (?= ,) }{($1)}xms;
    print $line;
    }

close $fh;
