Programming :: Perl Only Matching Single-character Regex Patterns?
Jan 20, 2009I'm having a small issue with regex matching in Perl. I'm pretty certain it's a simple fix, but it all looks correct to me...
If I run the following:

Programming :: Perl's Foreach Loop Can't Use An Array Element As The Control Variable?

General :: Expressing A Specific Range With Regex And Perl Extractors?
Feb 27, 2010I am tryng to get values BBA 204- BBA 324 from a log file.
this is my script:
zmore log.gz | perl -nle 'print for m/BBAs[2|3][0-9][0-4]/g' | sort -u | perl -ne 'print if /^BBAs204$/../^BBAs324$/'
the first perl one liner gives me everything from BBA 200 to BBA 394, and the second perl one liner cuts it down to BBA 204 to BBA 324
Is there a elegant regex that will allow me to skip the second perl one liner and just take out the BBA 204 - BBA 324
Programming :: Perl: Find Variable Text Between Keywords And Replace W/ "term_<variable_text>_term"?
Jul 12, 2010I am trying to write a Perl script that can open a file, find text that appears between two identifying strings (for now, "start" and "end"), then modify that text by enclosing it between "term_" and "_term" . Since the identified strings vary, the replacement string becomes "term_$1_term". From looking at other threads in this forum I've been able to get as far as spitting out the modified terms using the following code:
open FILE, "start2.txt" || die ("Could not open file <br> $!");
$text = <FILE>;
while ($text=~ s/start (.*?) end//) {
[code]....
The problem is how to get "term_$1_term" into the file in the same while loop, which I'm guessing would be some of variant of "$text=~ s/$1/$term/;" (which doesn't work as it stands).

Ubuntu :: Text Editor Column Editor And Regex Search/replace, Incrementing Number Insert?
Jul 25, 2011On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

Programming :: Bash - Read Content Of File To Variable And Use This Variable In For Loop ?
