in reply to how to append 2 lines
Hi,here is the sample input code...
LABEL#00001 MVC SYMBOL+2(4),X.PDES_KEY+2 + MVC SYMB_ART,=C'XSEQ' //line comments + + F$SFH SELECT,LISTING, + * DESKART=SYMB_ART, + * DESKWERT=SYMBOL, + * MARKTCODE=L#MACF + BNE F03#000 //line comments [download]
my required output should be somewhat like this...
LABEL#00001 MVC SYMBOL+2(4),X.PDES_KEY+2 + MVC SYMB_ART,=C'XSEQ' //line comments + + F$SFH SELECT,LISTING,DESKART=SYMB_ART,DESKWERT=SYMBOL,MARKTCO +DE=L#MACF BNE F03#000 //line comments [download]
And your Perl code to join the lines is...
Hint: use three-argument form of substr to check the 72nd symbol of the line and use it again to replace the text. For example:
my $one = ("_"x9)."*__\n"; my $two = ("-"x15)."\n"; print "$one$two"; substr($one,9)="" if substr($one,9,1) eq "*"; print "$one$two"; [download]
