Re^4: Removing the carriage return in a Find & Replace?

The -p option you use splits the input in separate lines. For Perl \n isn't the same as a space even if it is for HTML. One solution is to undef $/ in order to enable ''slurp mode'', (or to use the before mentioned command line option -0):

perl -i -pe 'BEGIN { undef $/ } s/<TD>\s*<FONT\s+FACE=arial\s+SIZE=-1>
+/widget/g' test.html

How can I use this to batch edit multiple pages? For some reason, I can only edit one page at a time. Thanks! -Bob	[reply]
