Re: How to generate files based on some special character?

If you are very lazy, you could run this:

$ perl -lane '$F[0] eq "<" and open O, "> $F[1]" or print O $_' large_
+file
[download]

Obviously, I wouldn't use this at home, as it could burn it down ;-)

...because there are no error checks (on "file name", open and print) and because of the sloppy 2-arguments usage of open

Or be even more reckless and drop a few more keys ;-) `$ perl -ne '/^< (.+)/ and open STDOUT, "> $1" or print' large_file` [download] God help you if you ever try to use such dumb code against some wild input ;-) -- altblue.	[reply] [d/l]
