Re: Facing problem with perl one-liner for single quote

Hello all,

Thanks for your help.

I tried using "\047" ASCII for the single quote in the
substitution and it worked.

The OS am using is Sun Solaris.

Regards,
HK.

Use double-quotes instead, at least if you are

perl -pi"orig_*" -e "s/(TPOS_IN[^;]+)/$1 :=

If you do that the shell will interpret $1 as one
of its variables.

Yes, a *nix shell will, so on *nix you need \$1

If the OP were on windows then he won't have been
able to use single
quotes for the original.

If I understood it correctly, he wasn't...

It looks like he was?
