Hi monks, i am struggling with editing a file , Iam opening a file and replacing string with a comment(#) at start of that line for example: i have a test.txt file in that there is string called "test" , whenever i found the string test , that line should be commented , here is my code
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $file_name = "test.txt";
open(INF,'./$file_name') || die "file could not open\n";
my @line;
while(@line = <INF>) {
if ( $line =~ s/test/^\#/g) {
open(INF,'>>$file_name') || die "could not open in writ
+e mode";
print INF "Matching is done by $line \n";
close(INF);
} else {
print "No match found \n";
}
close(INF);
}

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
