Perl: How to read from a file, do regular expression and then replace the found regular expression
Hi all,
How am I read a file, find the match regular expression and overwrite to the same files.
Code:
open DESTINATION_FILE, "<tmptravl.dat" or die "tmptravl.dat";
open NEW_DESTINATION_FILE, ">new_tmptravl.dat" or die "new_tmptravl.dat";
while (<DESTINATION_FILE>)
{
# print DESTINATION_FILE_2 "jessy\n";
chomp($_);
# print "$_ is $hash{$_}\n";
$line="CLIPPED_PIN_COUNT";
# print NEW_DESTINATION_FILE "$_\n";
#if ($_=~/^$line/)
if (/^CLIPPED_PIN_COUNT/)
{
print "original mathched:",$_,"\n";
$var=$hash{$line};
print "var is:",$var,"\n";
#Print out from tmptravl file
print "Obtain From tmptravl Fle:",$_,"\n";
#Split out
@field_new=split/:/,$_;
# print @field;
push @new_array_new, $field_new[$i];
print "field",$i,":",$field_new[$i],"\n";
$i ++;
push @new_array_new, $field_new[$i];
print "field",$i,":",$field_new[$i],"\n";
#Print out from original file
print "Obtain From Original File:",$var,"\n";
s/$_/$field_new[0]:$var/g;
print "After substituition:",$_,"\n";
print "-----------------------------------------\n";
print NEW_DESTINATION_FILE "$_\n";
# print DESTINATION_FILE,"s/$field_new[$1]/$var/";
#Subsititue original attribute to tmptravl attribue
close (DESTINATION_FILE);
close (NEW_DESTINATION_FILE);
}
}
Do I need to open two file handlers? My purpose is to overwrite the attribute i get from tmptravl.dat and write to new_tmptravl.dat? However, when I write to new_tmptravl.dat, only the new substitution is written in my new_tmptravl.dat? May I know what is the root cause for it?
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.
