Hi one further question if i may. I am trying to create a perl script out of this so that I can put all the files I wish to edit into an array and edit them all rather than running this from the command line
but how do i tell the little function youve provided about the file I want to edit so for example
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @array = <i will populate this array with files names>
my $x;
my $str = <<EOF;
My new
multi-line
static text
EOF
foreach (@array) {
open FILE,"+>$_"
BEGIN { $x=1 };
if (/^---\+\+ Details/) {
print; $x=0
} elsif (/^---\+\+ More info/) {
print $str; $x=1
}
print if $x==1
close $_;
}
Ive clearly done that completely wrong as it doesnt work , but I cant seem to put your nice little function to use inside a script that passes my filenames in the array as the equivelant of the 'standard in' from your command line version?

cdbs-edit-patch
CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1) CDBS Documentation CDBS-EDIT-PATCH(1)NAME
cdbs-edit-patch - create or edit a CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch
SYNOPSIS
cdbs-edit-patch patchname
DESCRIPTION
cdbs-edit-patch creates or edits patches for use by the CDBS simple-patchsys.mk patch system. For more information about CDBS please see
the documentation under /usr/share/doc/cdbs/.
When patchname exists, cdbs-edit-patch will set up a temporary working source tree, apply all patches up to and including patchname in lex-
icographic order, and spawn an interactive shell for the developer. The developer can then edit files in this working tree. When the
developer is done and exits the shell, cdbs-edit-patch updates patchname to reflect the changes made. To abort the process from the inter-
active shell, exit with a nonzero exit value.
When patchname does not exist, cdbs-edit-patch will assume that a new patch should be created. As with the above scenario, cdbs-edit-patch
will first create a temporary working source tree and apply all patches up to the new patch in lexicographic order. When the shell is
quit, cdbs-edit-patch will create patchname.
