        Hey smokemachine
        just a small clarification... 
        for file in `ls -1 *.txt`
do
    #echo $file
    perl -e 'open FILE, "<$file"; $_ = join "", <FILE>; print "true" i
+f /^t[^\n]*\Z/msi'
done

        when I run this for loop nothing is printing on command line but
        when I run with individual filenames its returning true..what is wrong with it..
        Thanks & Regards
