in thread Converting FILEHANDLE to string

While we're at it, the OP might as well take a look at the manual of sed ;) Not a Perl'ish way to solve it, but a rather fast and good one.

    And while he's at it, he might as well take a look at the manual of X. X can solve the problem, even if it doesn't answer the question or help the op learn anything about perl. Yes, X is the way to go.
      I'm sorry to rain on your parade, mr. Anonymous Monk, but Perl is sometimes not the best solution for a problem. Yes, this is a place where Perl is discussed, but it's also a place where people come to have their problems solved. In this case, Jeffa's solution will probably do wonders, but why launch a bulky Perl interpreter, when you have something like sed at your finger tips?

      Am I allowed to post non-Perl solutions to "problems" on here anyway? If not, please accept my sincere apologies.
