( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I want to insert file2 in file1 either after architecture line or before signal line... i.e. i want to insert this component in this component declaration part....Give me some idea to do this monks....

Easy:

  • Assuming Windows: Start the build-in editor (notepad.exe). Open file1. Position the cursor after the architecture line or before the signal line. Start another instance of the editor. Open file2. Press Ctrl-A to mark the entire file. Press Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard. Switch back to the first editor instance. Press Ctrl-V to paste from the clipboard. Save the file.
  • Assuming Unix/Linux with joe: Enter joe file1 file2 at the command prompt. Position the cursor after the architexture line or before the signal line. Press Ctrl-K, then N to switch to file2. Press Ctrl-K, then B to mark the start of a block. Press Ctrl-K, then Ctrl-V to move to the end of file2. Press Ctrl-K, then K to mark the end of a block. Press Ctrl-K, then P to switch back to file1. Press Ctrl-K, then C to copy the block into file1. Press Ctrl-K, then D to save file1. Press Ctrl-C to leave joe.

Or did you expect us to write code for a general solution?

OK, how about this:

Enable strict checks and warnings. Load a module that automatically handles I/O errors. Open file handle IN1 for reading from "file1". Open file handle OUT for writing to "result". While reading a line from IN1 does not indicate end-of-file: Write the line just read to OUT. If the line just read contains "architecture": Open file handle IN2 for reading from "file2". While reading a line from IN2 does not indicate end-of-file: Write the line just read to OUT. Close file handle IN2. Close file handle OUT. Close file handle IN1.

Hint for the first line: use strict; use warnings;. Hint for the error handling module: autodie. Everything else is in perlfunc.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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> <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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
