#!/usr/bin/perl -p s/^\|/\\N\|/; s/\|\s*$/\|\\N/; s/\|\s*\|/\|\\N\|/g; s/\|\.\s*\|/\|\\N\|/g; s/\|\s+/\|/g; s/\s+\|/\|/g; s/(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})\.\d+/$1/g; s/(\d{5})-(?:\d{1,4}|\s+)/$1/;

Execute as so:

my_scriptydoo.pl file1 > file2

Update: ikegami is absolutely correct. I should be doing a redirect. The next 1st level response provides the -pi version.


  • In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)
  • "What is the sound of Perl? Is it not the sound of a wall that people have stopped banging their heads against?"

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.
