Found a SED solution which looks:
# getCounter
var="# <Path to Project>"
var1="/root/Desktop/Textdatei.txt"
Counter=`sed -n -e "/${var}/=" $var1`
FinalCounter=`expr $Counter + 1`
# lineSubstitution
varneu="/tmp/noch/watdazu/gesch/"
sed -e "${FinalCounter}c\\${varneu}" $var1 > xxx.txt # Problem: described below
cat xxx.txt > $var1 # Bad solution
rm xxx.txt
The remaining problem is that I wished to write the whole samplestorage back to the original file:
1st solution: sed -e "${FinalCounter}c\\${varneu}" $var1 > $var1
2nd solution sed -e "${FinalCounter}c\\${varneu}w $var1" $var1
in solution no. 1 the file (Textdatei.txt) is always empty. I do not understand for what reason the file will be overwritten with empty lines?
in solution no 2. I have the problem with the syntax. the w $var1 is always just added to the $varneu in the substituted line. I tried with several charcters before w like (/, \, etc. ) but I did'nt hit the right one.
Can anybody advice how to go along with this?
tks in advance

struct::compare
Compare(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Compare(3pm)
NAME
Struct::Compare - Recursive diff for perl structures.
SYNOPSIS
use Struct::Compare;
my $is_different = compare($ref1, $ref2);
DESCRIPTION
Compares two values of any type and structure and returns true if they are the same. It does a deep comparison of the structures, so a hash
of a hash of a whatever will be compared correctly.
This is especially useful for writing unit tests for your modules!
PUBLIC FUNCTIONS
o $bool = compare($var1, $var2)
Recursively compares $var1 to $var2, returning false if either structure is different than the other at any point. If both are
undefined, it returns true as well, because that is considered equal.
BUGS
/NEEDED ENHANCEMENTS
o blessed references
compare currently does not deal with blessed references. I need to look into how to deal with this.
