Operating Systems Linux Linux command to find and replace occurance of more than two equal sign with "==" from XML file. Post 302660787 by bakunin on Saturday 23rd of June 2012 06:16:09 AM

There is no other way than what you have already found out: use a different file and then move the new file over the old file.

The reason for this i have described here and in some other postings too - i don't want to repeat it.

Btw., a suggestion: stay away from GNU-seds "-i" switch: it will just make your script less portable, but will do nothing else than do the "mv"-operation automatically afterwards.

I hope this helps.

NAME
CGI::XML - Perl extension for converting CGI.pm variables to/from XML SYNOPSIS
use CGI::XML; $q = new CGI::XML; # convert CGI.pm variables to XML $xml = $q->toXML; $xml = $q->toXML($root); # convert XML to CGI.pm variables $q->toCGI($xml); DESCRIPTION
The CGI::XML module converts CGI.pm variables to XML and vice versa. CGI::XML is a subclass of CGI.pm, so it reads the CGI variables just as CGI.pm would. METHODS
$q = new CGI::XML creates a new instance of CGI::XML. You also have access to all of the methods in CGI.pm. $q->toXML([$root]) where $root is an optional parameter that specifies the root element. By default, toXML will not return a root element. $q->toCGI($xml) where $xml is the XML you would like to convert to CGI.pm parameters. Values in the XML will overwrite any existing values if they exist. NOTE
CGI::XML does not currently handle multiple selections passed from HTML forms. This will be added in a future release. AUTHOR
