Perl Script to Loop through Files 1

[erock24]

I'm looking for a Perl script that will loop through all .lod files in the folder the script resides, open the file, find and delette all instances of the word "tabular", save and close.

I appreciate any help.
Thank you very much for your time.

I think it's probably unlikely that you will find a script with that exact specification. You may even have to write one yourself. If you do go down this route, we can cetrainly help you with any problems you may encounter. Post your code, and we'll have a look at it...

perl -pi'.bak' -e 's/tabular//g' *.lod

Once you're happy you can delete the backup files (*.bak)

Probably slightly safer to use word boundaries too.

perl -pi'.bak' -e 's/\btabular\b//g' *.lod

YAY Ishnid!
Good to see you again.

And yes, I absolutely agree with the word boundaries.
