I get the following error
Code:
syntax error at editkamil.pl line 2, near ") {"
syntax error at editkamil.pl line 6, near "}"
Execution of editkamil.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

On the other hand if I remove the
Code:
-lne

I get no output at all.
I hope this clarified the situation.
"Dear" gimley,

It's not surprising you got no output at all, since you did not execute the script I posted.

I don't see the word "perl" in there, so it's unfair to call it a "perl script". You gotta have a **close** look at the script I posted and try again.

Hello,
I copied the script exactly as it was on the page only removing the inverted commas
Code:
perl -lne if (/^(.*?=)([^(]*)(.*)/) {
($x,$y,$z)=($1,$2,$3);
print "$x$y" if $y ne "";
while ($z =~ m/(\([^(]+)/g) { print "$x$1" }
}

and ran it as a perl script on command prompt. I got the following message

Code:
syntax error at editkamil.pl line 1, near ") {"
syntax error at editkamil.pl line 5, near "}"
Execution of editkamil.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Is this because I am trying to run the perl script from outside. I know no other method of running a script from outside. This is why in my earlier mail, I had "eaten up" the word perl. This time I have kept it as such and tried to run the script.
Hope this explains things. Many thanx for your patience. I am 60+ and accustomed to C programming. Perl is a learning experience for me.

It's not an exact copy if you remove the inverted commas (I believe you are referring to single quotes). What happens if you don't do that?

Yes, that's correct. The "outside" or the shell doesn't understand Perl syntax.

Hello,
Many thanks for your reply.
I ran the scriptt as such with the single quotes and here is what I got
Code:
String found where operator expected at editkamil.pl line 5, near "}'"
  (Might be a runaway multi-line '' string starting on line 1)
        (Missing semicolon on previous line?)
syntax error at editkamil.pl line 5, near "}'"
Execution of editkamil.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I really don't understand what goes wrong.

Copy and paste the part of your screen where you run your script. In other words, copy (straight from your screen, no modifications) and post the following:

(a) the command you executed, followed by
(b) the error message you saw

You've posted (b) above, but not (a).

Hello,
As mentioned I created a perl script called editkamil.pl
On dos prompt I gave the command:
perl editkamil.pl <FN>
and got the error dump which i forwarded in my earlier mail.
As a matter of curiosity, are you running PERL in a shell?
I can only run perl on command line.
Many thanks once more for your interest
