perl substitution
Hello all
I have a strings like
" Watch news 24x7 "."x-wars is glowing"
" Watch news like 24 x 7"."x-mas will be celebrated"
" Dimensions of box is 24x23x47 ".
I have to remove the x(by) in between the number. If i just replace x, it will also remove all x's from text which i do not want. patterns are like 24x7 with no space in between and 24 x 7 with a space in between.
How can i remove these x's.
Please reply

Hi All,
I need the perl version of the below sed command:
sed 's/abc.*/&.txt/g' <filename>
Because I'm trying to do some replacement recursively using perl and the above replacement is replacing the abc* with "&.txt" exactly.

When invoked without arguments, prints the contents of all current files in most recent first, with each preceded by an appropriate header.

determined by the environment variable only files more recent than this currency time are considered ``current.''

Print all items, regardless of currency.
The stored time is not changed.
Report the names of the current items without printing their contents,
and without changing the stored time.
