Re: In-Place Edit - Null Characters

Perl stops reading the file at the first ^Z character, because -i.bak-Mode does not enable binmode. The following oneliner should work:

perl -i.bak -e "BEGIN{binmode STDOUT}" -p test.pl adp.rsf

As you don't post any code, it's hard to give you a more elegant version though.

You need to binmode STDIN too!	[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. I tried your suggestion, but got the same result where only a few of the (jibberish) characters were returned, ะฯเกฑ I didn't post the contents of test.pl because it can really be anything. The real code will does a substitution for host name and IP after it gets past (supposed to get past) the header, but for the test I just have rem statements in test.pl since it is my understanding that the command line does the while <> operation and print loop.
