Re: Re: I'm looking for a one-liner filter 'twixt two regexes

cmd.exe quoting rules are almost simple. There is only one kind of quote, the double quote. So

perl -ne "print if /start/ .. /end/" *.html
[download]

works. I'm not sure how you escape a double quote on the command line of cmd.exe, so I use qq(\n) whenever I need to embed a newline...

perl -MHTTP::Daemon -MHTTP::Response -MLWP::Simple -e ' ;    # The  
$d = new HTTP::Daemon and fork and getprint $d->url and exit;#spider
($c = $d->accept())->get_request(); $c->send_response( new   #in the
HTTP::Response(200,$_,$_,qq(Just another Perl hacker\n))); ' #  web

Aw! I get... C:\temp\>perl -n -e "print if /start/ .. /end/" .html Can't open .html: Invalid argument. When run under CMD.exe -- I'm not sure if it's perl.exe or CMD.exe complaining here. :( Msemtd.	[reply]

Many Thanks to all who replied -- my solution to the CMD.exe problem was resolved with a WinNT batch file(!) to deal with the ".html" argument... `@echo off :: aarunme.bat -- on an NT machine with ActiveState Perl, this fella :: will tidy up a mirror of the Slackware Book by exploding the inner +table for %%f in (.html) do call :func1 %%f goto :EOF :func1 echo %1 perl -ni.bak -e "print if /Norman/ .. /\/BODY$/" %1 :: this line replaces the missing ">" for the closing body tag echo ^> >> %1` [download] BTW: I really should have the 2nd regex on the closing HTML tag.
