Re: multiple commands before unless ?

By the way, not many have commented on the other question. Is the way I'm doing this a good approach as far as using the map function to swap out the line I am looking for in the file? I know this can be done in quite a few different ways, but I want to limit the operations used. Also, no modules! Thanks.

Saying "No modules" in this crowd is like waving a red flag at a bull. But that said, I would solve your original problem using the options in perlrun. For instance: `perl -pi.bak -e 's/^update_info=(?:\w+)/update_info=auto/' your_file` [download] (Switch quotes to " for Windows.)	[reply] [d/l]

I know modules are usually the way to go. I use modules for my own projects. I asked for a no-module solution because I'm not sure what modules are going to be installed on the systems that I work on. Things are very locked down, so I wouldn't be surprised if we were working on a less than standard build. If I had control over what modules were installed, than I'd be more than willing to use some of the mentioned modules.	[reply]
