Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions String editing using sed? awk? Post 302370918 by peage1475 on Thursday 12th of November 2009 11:22:16 PM

Yeah that does help, and thank you so much for helping me. However I think that another reason it is not working is that I am not using the cat | read correctly. I created a file that contains a path to some file then I used cat on it and piped it to read like so:
Code:
cat tmp1 | read testvar
echo $testvar

Nothing was printed by echo, I am thinking that my syntax is off or something and that is another reason why this is not working for me. I have tried finding out how to do this but I cannot find anything nor can I figure it out.

NAME
String::Flogger - string munging for loggers VERSION
version 1.101242 SYNOPSIS
use String::Flogger qw(flog); my @inputs = ( 'simple!', [ 'slightly %s complex', 'more' ], [ 'and inline some data: %s', { look => 'data!' } ], [ 'and we can defer evaluation of %s if we want', sub { 'stuff' } ], sub { 'while avoiding sprintfiness, if needed' }, ); say flog($_) for @inputs; The above will output: simple! slightly more complex and inline some data: {{{ "look": "data!" }}} and we can defer evaluation of stuff if we want while avoiding sprintfiness, if needed METHODS
flog This method is described in the synopsis. format_string $flogger->format_string($fmt, @input); This method is used to take the formatted arguments for a format string (when "flog" is passed an arrayref) and turn it into a string. By default, it just uses ""sprintf" in perlfunc". AUTHOR
