Re: Re: is this correct

In case like this (a while loop around one or more files) the perl -ne is usually a good candidate...

Something like :

perl -ne 's/\t/   /g;print' file > file.tmp;
mv file.tmp file;

To abstract it a little more `perl -i.back -pe 's/\t/ /g' file` The -i means copy original file to `file.back` and put the output of program in `file`. The -p is like -n but does `while(<>){YOUR_CODE; print;}` instead.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
