All,
I need to search a file for a string then set a variable using substr b/c it is at a certain position, then finally replace the string with another string. Thank you,
Here is my test code:
my $gpg=qq(/home/gpghrp/.gnupg);
open (GPG, "gpg --fingerprint |") or die "unable to open pipe sys call
+ (1)... Broken? $!";
open(OLD,"+<$gpg/scripts/gpg_encr.saved") or die $!;
open(NEW, "+<$gpg/scripts/gpg_encr.saved.new") or die $!
for (;<OLD>;)
{
if ( /(?)readonly tlx=/ ) {
my $ns =substr($_,13,8)
print "Now substituting\n";
print NEW s/$ns/"blah"/;
}
}
close (GPG);
close (SYS);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
