Help, while loop and sed not producing desired output
Hello everyone,
I need some assistance with what I thought would have been a very simple script.
Purpose of Script:
Script will parse through a source file and modify (search/replace) certain patterns and output to stdout or a file. Script will utilize a "control file" which will contain what to search for and what to replace it with. "Control file" will be used against the "source file".
Script Goals:
Comments (lines beginning with #) and blank lines in the "control file" should be ignored by the script. [DONE]
"Control file" will contain structured data. Deliminator with be initially a blank space, will be changed to a semi-colon. [DONE]
The script works [This is where I need help]
Example of "Control file"
Example of "Source file"
Example of the script
Example of script output to stdout
Here I would have expected a bunch of replaces outputted (replace1, replace2, replace3, ...).
I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
I wanted to put "|" this sign at starting and at end of every field but its not working with first field like
Currently the out put is :
abc | abc | abc |
xyz | xyz | xyz |
But I want the out put in this form:
| abc | abc | abc |
| xyz | xyz | xyz |
plz help me. (2 Replies)

test::script
Test::Script(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Script(3)NAME
Test::Script - Basic cross-platform tests for scripts
DESCRIPTION
The intent of this module is to provide a series of basic tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the script (or
bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl distribution.
Further, it aims to provide this functionality with perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive as possible.
That is, if the program works on a platform, then Test::Script should always work on that platform as well. Anything less than 100% is
considered unacceptable.
In doing so, it is hoped that Test::Script can become a module that you can safely make a dependency of all your modules, without risking
that your module won't on some platform because of the dependency.
Where a clash exists between wanting more functionality and maintaining platform safety, this module will err on the side of platform
safety.
FUNCTIONS
script_compiles
script_compiles( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script compiles' );
The "script_compiles" test calls the script with "perl -c script.pl", and checks that it returns without error.
The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.
Note also that the test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl).
This will also be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
script_runs
script_runs( 'script/foo.pl', 'Main script runs' );
The "script_runs" test executes the script with "perl script.pl" and checks that it returns success.
The path it should be passed is a relative unix-format script name. This will be localised when running "perl -c" and if the test fails the
local name used will be shown in the diagnostic output.
The test will be run with the same perl interpreter that is running the test script (and not with the default system perl). This will also
be shown in the diagnostic output on failure.
