Re^3: Command Line

I was trying to replace the line mentioned with

  next if ( $find_flag and ( if ($replacement == "") { /\s+QUALIFIED_C
+LOCK/ } else { /\s+$replacement/ } ));
[download]

But it writes me "syntax error". I cant understand why... What I'm trying to do is check whether I entered a string and then look for it, and If not, look for QUALIFIED_CLOCK .

like that? `my ($iFile, $oFile, $searchFor) = @ARGV; $searchFor = quotemeta( $searchFor \|\| 'QUALIFIED_CLOCK ); .... next if $find_flag and /\s+$searchFor/;` [download] holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

The problem is that if I put a STRING, it will still delete me lines with QUALIFIED_CLOCK and not just lines containing STRING. I need it to do the following: If no STRING is inputted, skip lines with QUALIFIED_CLOCK, if is, keep lines with QUALI but skip lines with STRING.	[reply]

Hint: Try counting your open and close parens, per block.	[reply]

I'm counting and it still looks alright. 3 "(" 3 ")" , 2 "{" and 2 "}" .	[reply]
