Aia, I ran the Perl .pl file in Terminal and it works very well combining both requirements in one script like you said. I changed the file name of course, like this:
However, when I added the variable to write the changes in the file (-i) the new file is missing the last 15 lines, and just those exact lines are printed in the terminal window. I ran the command like this:
What is wrong?
The flag -i works only with the <> operator. Mostly, in throw away command line executions. I am using the <> in the script trying to be flexible from where it is getting the input (from stdin, and from file given). However, it is intended to show at stdout and thus it closes $ARGV (where <> is reading) and then it finishes the job.
If you are going to use it as such, a modification must be done. The highlighted part represents the modification. It has been tested, minimally. Please, try and let me know if you need something else.
