I am having some success with your list method. Only having one issue which I can explain here in a minute. The files needing this sort of operation are not really that big considering the box has 48 gigs of memory. Files might have 100 or less lines of code that need edits. I am curious what an example of writing the new file, deleting the old one(replacing) would look like. Sounds simple enough. Here is my issue:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$file = "/opt/ontrol/etc/tatus";
$RM = "BLAH";
open($fh, "<", $file) or die "Could not open $file: $!\n";
@list = <$fh>;
close($fh);
$list[30] = "RM=\"rm2\"\n";
$list[37] = "$RM2";
$list[42] = "rm2DESC=\"Result Manager2\"\n";
open($fh, ">", $file) or die "Could not open $file: $!\n";
print $fh @list;
close($fh);
I have to edit the file names a little for SBU(sensitive but unclassified). Ok! List [37] = "$RM2"; the actual line on 37 is: Yadda="$RWHOIS $LM $RM"
I need $RM2 somewhere within the double quotations. Can't seem to print this one but everything else goes into the file.. Of course $RM2 is the most important its the PID. I could get by without a description showing correctly but the PID no way! Mumford your the man no matter what others on the forum say about you. Jk

colcrt
colcrt(1) General Commands Manual colcrt(1)Name
colcrt - filter nroff output for CRT previewing
Syntax
colcrt [-] [-2] [file...]
Description
The command provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is
destructive. Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
Options
- Suppresses all underlining. It is especially useful for previewing allboxed tables from
-2 Causes half-lines to be printed, double spacing the output. Normally, a minimal space output format is used which will suppress empty
lines. The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however. The -2 option is useful for sending output to the line
printer when the output contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be invisible.
Examples
A typical use of would be:
tbl exum2.n | nroff -ms | colcrt - | more
Restrictions
Can't back up more than 102 lines.
General overstriking is lost; as a special case `|' overstruck with `-' or underline becomes `+'.
Lines are trimmed to 132 characters.
