I have over 200 perl scripts in a directory. They have the following line in them:
I want to replace the line with the following:
I want to replace the line the simple possible way. I used the following command:
(I bolded and underline the command so you can see what I am doing)
I get no match, no replacement, just a prompt >
I tested replacing the line from the = sign to the end of the line with the above command and it works, but I can not use that because I have 5 lines to replace in script with each having excactly the same 2nd half and a different 2nd for each of the 5 lines. The first part of each line starts with $ENV{', and single quote is part that does not work. If I had lines that did not have the single quote in the line, the above command would work (without the single quote of course).

}

Hi,
I've been trying to write a regex to use in egrep (in a shell script) that'll fetch the names of all the files that match a particular pattern. I expect to match the following line in a file:

Hi,
I have a variable in my script that gets its value from a procstack output. It could be a number of any length, or it could just be a '1' with 0 or more white spaces around it. I would like to detect when this variable is just a 1 and not a 1234, for example. This is as far as I got:

Thanks,

re_comp, re_exec - regular expression handler
Syntax
char *re_comp(s)
char *s;
re_exec(s)
char *s;
Description
The subroutine compiles a string into an internal form suitable for pattern matching. The subroutine checks the argument string against
the last string passed to
The subroutine returns 0 if the string s was compiled successfully; otherwise a string containing an error message is returned. If is
passed 0 or a null string, it returns without changing the currently compiled regular expression.
The subroutine returns 1 if the string s matches the last compiled regular expression, 0 if the string s failed to match the last compiled
regular expression, and -1 if the compiled regular expression was invalid (indicating an internal error).
The strings passed to both and may have trailing or embedded newline characters; they are terminated by nulls. The regular expressions
recognized are described in the manual entry for given the above difference.
Diagnostics
The subroutine returns -1 for an internal error.
The subroutine returns one of the following strings if an error occurs:
No previous regular expression
Regular expression too long
unmatched (
missing ]
too many () pairs
unmatched )
