Subject: Matching pattern in multiple lines
Hello All,
Thanks for the useful informations given on my previous queries.Now I
have another one query.
Please help me.
In pattern matching,I want to match a pattern in multiple line.How to do
this?.
For example,in a file,the pattern is present in 2 lines,
Here my doubts are:
1.Whether need to use "/n" to distinguish between 2 lines,when decalring
them?
Or anyother operator needed to be used?.
(ie) $pattern="text in 1st line "/n" text in secondline";
$replace="some text";
2. Whether to specify any options in the "s/$pattern/$replace/g" command?
Thanks inadvance,
Prabu.
It is not "/n" but "\n"
USE :
$*=1;
Don't use \n, but you can use '^'to match just after '\n'
thanks,
Jay
