Hello monks
finally i made that code which is really a code, to comment out the named.conf file
by choosing the domain name and then it will make matching and provide a counter, which is actually to put the comment from the matched line and till 5 five line starting form this matched line
so here is the code
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; print " please enter the domain name: "; my $targetdomain =<STDIN> ; chomp $targetdomain; my $file = "/home/adam/Desktop/hello"; open HAN,$file || die "error opening file: $!"; my @array =<HAN> ; close(HAN); foreach my $x ( 0 .. $#array ){ if( $array[$x] =~ m/^zone\s+"$targetdomain"/ ){ for my $n (0 .. 4) { $array[$x+$n] = "//" . $array[$x+$n]; } } } open HAN, ">$file"; print HAN "@array"; close(HAN);
it works fine for the first time but i noticed somthing which make me confused
every time i run this script on the file the file it shifted one space from the left like that
this is the status of the file before running the script .
zone "domain.com" type master; file "/path/to/zone/domain.com"; notify yes; }; zone "mydomain.com" { type master file "/path/to/zone/mydomain.com"; notify yes }; zone "do.com" { type master; file "/path/to/zone/do.com"; notify yes; };
and after running it
zone "domain.com" type master; file "/path/to/zone/domain.com"; notify yes; }; //zone "mydomain.com" { //type master //file "/path/to/zone/mydomain.com"; //notify yes //}; zone "do.com" { type master; file "/path/to/zone/do.com"; notify yes; };
the script comment out the zone as i nedded but, you see the space added the left of the file and after run it again the spac is increased by one and so on . .
how can i prevent such space. that is must for my code to keep the file without any changes and without any spaces . and just comment the nedded zones .
thanks MonKs
