"Uwe" == Uwe Kleine-Koenig [off-list ref] writes:Uwe> #! /bin/sh Uwe> exec perl -i -p -e 's/\$(Id|Revision):.*?\$/\$$1: \$/' "$@"; Ow. My eyes hurt from that. How about we rewrite that as a native Perl script: #!/usr/bin/perl $^I = ""; # this is -i while (<>) { s/\$(Id|Revision):.*?\$/\$$1: \$/; print; }
That's kinda surprising coming from the resident Perl guru. I am so used to the command line "-i -p" that I did not even know what $^I does, and I would have lost without your "# this is -i" comment. That alone makes the Uwe's one more readable for me ;-).
