Re: perl one liner to search for a string, then search for a different string and append a new line

[BradV]

Great! 99.9% there. :)

Current code is:

perl -0777 -elnp 's|(<Directory "/usr/local/awstats.+?</Directory>)|$1+\nCustomLog /usr/local/awstats/logs/access_log comdinedio|s' httpd.conf

It does everything I want, except there is a line-feed followed by another line-feed and a question mark after 'combinedio.' That is:

CustomLog ... combinedio

?

Any ideas how to get rid of at least the question mark?

[BradV]

I found the reason for the question mark. I had a typo and was using 'perl -077' instead of 'perl -0777.' All is good.

Thanks so much for your help! :)
