By the way, perl has an special variable `$.' (that's $ and period) which might help you read the specific line of a file without resorting to making calls to the external head and tail.
So instead of $line1= `head -tmp1 file1| tail -1`;
maybe something like:
Code:
open my $fh, '<', $file1 or die "$file1: $!";
my $cntl = 1; # or whatever you want
my $line;
while( <$fh> ) {
if( $. == $ctl ) {
$line = $_;
last;
}
}
close $fh
# now you can use $line here
I want to add a line at the beginning and at the end of a file..
e.g.
echo "at the beginning.." > tmp_file &&
cat file >> tmp_file &&
echo "last line" >> tmp_file &&
mv tmp_file file
is there a nice way for doing that??

list - list routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <inn/list.h>
struct node {
struct node *succ;
struct node *pred; };
struct list {
struct node *head;
struct node *tail;
struct node *tailpred; };
void list_new(struct list *list);
struct node *list_addhead(struct list *list, struct node *node);
struct node *list_addtail(struct list *list, struct node *node);
struct node *list_head(struct list *list);
struct node *list_tail(struct list *list);
struct node *list_succ(struct node *node);
struct node *list_pred(struct node *node);
struct node *list_remhead(struct list *list);
struct node *list_remtail(struct list *list);
struct node *list_remove(struct node *node);
struct node *list_insert(struct list *list, struct node *node, struct node *pred);
bool list_isempty(struct list *list);
DESCRIPTION
list_new initialises the list header list so as to create an empty list.
list_addhead adds node to the head of list, returning the node just added.
list_addtail adds node to the tail of list, returning the node just added.
list_head returns a pointer to the the node at the head of list or NULL if the list is empty.
list_tail returns a pointer to the the node at the tail of list or NULL if the list is empty.
list_succ returns the next (successor) node on the list after node or NULL if node was the final node.
list_pred returns the previous (predecessor) node on the list before node or NULL if node was the first node.
list_remhead removes the first node from list and returns it to the caller. If the list is empty NULL is returned.
list_remtail removes the last node from list and returns it to the caller. If the list is empty NULL is returned.
list_remove removes node from the list it is on and returns it to the caller.
list_insert inserts node onto list after the node pred. If pred is NULL then node is added to the head of list.
