I have a huge directory of config files for some majordomo lists, all of which have one line which I want to change. Now I have been doing some perl scripting for awhile, i am still quite green, but it always seems to take me twice the time to code the script than would have been just to do the manual edit. Anyone know an easy way to change all of these files? It is going to have to involve some reg-exp because the variable is sender = owner-listname which needs to be changed to listname-owner. The regexp manuevering isn't really a problem, I have something that will do that actually. The place where I usually run into problems is the gathering of filenames and then the interaction with those files... so anyone got a quick answer to this problem? ____________________________ Mike Neuharth ADCS Technology Specialist http://www.umn.edu/adcs E-Mail : mjn at umn.edu Page Mail : 6126486512 at page.metrocall.com http://nifty.dsl.visi.com/ ____________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
