perlquestion Tuppence Hello monks, <p>Having already replaced every \n in my source tree with \266 due to a bad command line, I need help with what I expected to be very simple.</p> <p>I'm trying to run a multi-line search replace against a file from the command line.</p> <p>Simplified, I want</p> <code>perl -pi -e 's/(.*)/{\1}/gs' filename.txt</code> <p>to put a { } wrapper around the entire file. Instead, it puts a { } wrapper around each line. (and some weird extra ones, but eh whatever)</p> <p>I thought this could be solved with something like <code>-l0666</code>, but I can't find why I think that and it already toasted my code tree once...</p> <p>Tuppence</p>
