UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Tiny problem:

there is a line like this...

to be{tab}was/were{tab}been{tab}ser o estar

using $ perl -lane 'use List::Util 'shuffle'; $,="\t";print shuffle(@F);' inputfile

i get

be{tab}been{tab}was/were{tab}ser{tab}o{tab}estar

while

be{tab}been{tab}was/were{tab}ser o estar

is desired.

Anyway i can manage with what you have offered to me so far and I appreciate so much! Thx so much folks!

So you want to use TAB as word separator? Try this:

Code:

perl -F"\t" -lane 'use List::Util 'shuffle'; $,="\t";print shuffle(@F);' inputfile

yeah, bartus11, you nailed it!!

I just didn't guess where to put that '\t'

Wow, great!
