Greetings, oh wise monks
This is no doubt a shamefully elementary question, but can someone tell me what's wrong with this code (taken from http://www.opensourcetutorials.com/tutorials/Server-Side-Coding/Perl/perl-scripts-regex/page3.html)?
I'm getting the "pattern not terminated" error on the last line). The text file is just "Lorem ipsum"-type text.
my $filename = "C:\\temp\\testdata.txt";
open ( FILE, $filename) or die "Cannot open file: $!";
while ( $line = <FILE> ) {
# i is case insensative
# ([^>]*) match zero or more characters but not '>'
$line =~ s/ying/yang/gi;
push(@outLines, $line);
}
close FILE;
open ( OUTFILE, ">$filename" );
print ( OUTFILE @outLines );
close ( OUTFILE );
?>
Thanks.
