Re: Corrector

May i humbly suggest an alternative...

#!/usr/bin/perl -pi

s/this/that/; # substitutes this with that
s/one/two/;   # substitutes one with two
[download]

Run with: corrector.pl C:\filestochange

It doesn't have some of the interesting side effects of the original script, but i consider that a good thing.

Updated: there is no "i" in team, but there should have been one on the first line

`#!/usr/bin/perl -p s/this/that/; # substitutes this with that s/one/two/; # substitutes one with two` [download] It also doesn't work. Did you even try it?	[reply] [d/l]

Ok, the perl program is now correct... but your calling protocol is still junk. I believe you're going to end up with a solution which is a convoluted mixture of perl and "shell", or else do globbing inside the perl program, not unlike what the OP did. Of course, it wouldn't be nearly so much of a problem on an operating system with a Real Shell... ;-)	[reply]
