Delete block of text in one file based on list in another file
Hi all
I currently use the following in shell.
NOTE the single quote delimiters in the expression. It's highly likely the 'LINE' may very well have characters in it that perl will try to interpolate. For example the '@'... See sample data.
I would like to reduce the overhead of the multi perl calls and do both loops in one perl call from within a shell.
And this bit of code from that thread:
I have been attempting to hack into submission without success!
HELP!
I like the idea of the hash, however that is way above my head and after many hours of pawing over this site and the perl man pages I have yet to even come close to figuring out how to use it!
If I understand the above with the use of the hash, that would limit the loop to one iteration for multiple matches!
Correct or Incorrect??
And if needed, The following is sample datafile, listfile and results.
Sample datafile: (first line is blank, last line is not)
Sample listfile: No blanks
Target Results: (first line is blank, last line is not)
Thanks
-Enjoy
