Hello *
A few minutes ago a colleague of mine asked me if *NIX had a command that could be easily used to delete the 32nd line from a bunch of file. awk, sed and cat (and some combinations of them) came to mind, but I preferred a full Perl approach:
perl -i.bak -ne 'print unless ++$i == 32' filename
But since TIMTOWTDI, how would you do the same with a one liner (and, if you want to use modules, using only modules in bundle with perl)?
Ciao! --bronto
# Another Perl edition of a song:
# The End, by The Beatles
END {
$you->take($love) eq $you->made($love) ;
}

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.
