Hello ,
Thanks a lot for your time. To add to my post, my a_copy.txt is something like this:
sjdsajdsd kjfksls'fsaf
sandlksadnksalndop
djsndsan;sa
sdsakdslkdsa
sakdsakdsa
.....................
.................
NAME|VALUE = a
ksadksad
dewidewjrw
djsdnsalkd
dskdsa;dkjsa
....................
.............................
TASK|VALUE = copy
dsakdmsald;sadsa
dsalkdsldk'dls
................................
dskmdsldsdsda
CAPS|VALUE = 34
dksdmlsajdsajdsa
..............................
dsdksld;sads
PKG_TYPE|VALUE = minimal
dsmds.dsa.d
lsdksadjsldjsdjpos
...........................
............................
..................................
jndlkjsandlksandsndsa
jdnsakjdnkjs;dsa
kdjslkdjsa;lkds
STACK|VALUE = 4
dfdskjff;sdf
.............................
........................
SHIP|VALUE = junk
kdskdsakjdl'sa
jdsajd;lksahdsakda
..........................
dsjads
.........................
And input file is user based, so its not confined to only the content you see in my example. It can have multiple values under "NAME|VALUE =" and "TASK|VALUE =" . I have to read these two keywords from the input file, and open the correct (NAME|VALUE)_(TASK|VALUE).txt. In my example, the first one happens to be "a_copy.txt". Second one happens to be "z_cut.test" and third one is "c_paste.txt". There can be many more like this based on the user input. So, I have to grep for the lines that follow "NAME|VALUE = a" and "TASK|VALUE = copy" in the input file,
and replace those lines in the .txt file For example, in this case, a_copy.txt, I have to replace the lines "CAPS|VALUE = 34" with "CAPS|VALUE = 0" and "PKG_TYPE|VALUE = minimal" with "PKG_TYPE|VALUE = premium". In the c_paste.txt I have to replace "STACK|VALUE = 65" with "STACK|VALUE = 2" and "SHIP|VALUE = medium" with "SHIP|VALUE = lowtier" and so on. And you are right, since z_cut.txt file doesnt exist, the code has to throw an error in the end giving a list of all the non existent files and exit. The exit should happen only after the code has successfully run on the existing files. For example, post processing , a_copy.txt should look like:
sjdsajdsd kjfksls'fsaf
sandlksadnksalndop
djsndsan;sa
sdsakdslkdsa
sakdsakdsa

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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>

-
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).
