Answer: How do I append or write to the end of a file? contributed by Crulx
open FH, ">>$output_file" or die "Couldn't open file: $!";
Opens a file for appending.
In an already open file for writing,
seek FH,0,2;
After you get to the end via those methods, simply
print FH "What you want to print\n";
| Answer: How do I append or write to the end of a file? contributed by punksk8er Another mehod of doing so is a bit longer, but of which I prefer at the moment.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
open (FILE, "file") || die "File does not exist\n";
my @file = <FILE>;
my $file = @file;
close (FILE);
open (FILE, ">file") || die "File does not exist\n";
for (my $n = 0; $n <= $file; $n++) {
$_ = $file[$n];
print FILE $_;
}
print "add whatever";
print "here\n";
print "to end of txt.\n";
close (FILE);
I prefer this method because I do not have to make extream changes to edit the lines of the file as I go. |
