Re: How do I delete/modify one line from test file ?


open(FILEHANDLE,"+< $FILENAME) or die print $!;
while(<FILEHANDLE>){
     if ($_ ne 'b|b|b|b|b|b'){
         push(@outtext,$_);
         }

Do what you want from here.  Of course it always a 
good idea to lock the file if you are on a UNIX 
system.

I can't get that to work how. Could you post a more complete answer. I am feeding the push command the line that I want removed but it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong?	[reply]

well, if you're `push`ing the line you don't want onto the array, it's going to end up in the array. It might help to think of another way of doing the same thing: `push @array, $line unless $line eq 'b\|b';` [download] Read the fine manual! => `perldoc -f push` Philosophy can be made out of anything.
