Sorry, my Net connection was down for the weekend :(.

116 pieces of mail for PLUG-discuss waiting for me this afternoon, though.

perl -p -e 's/(.*)/z=z+$1/' resolv.conf   # ;-)

Why use a good tool like sed when you have the Swiss-Army-Club at your
disposal? :)

You already got good sed answers, though.

perl -pi.bak -e 's/(.*)/z=z+$1/' fileName

The second one saves the orig file to fileName.bak and puts the new data in
fileName.

Anyone want to demo how to do this in the other p languages? PHP? Python?
Prolog? :)

Command line versions only, please :).

ciao,
