Perl - Manipulating Scripts
In a Nutshell - CIW Course Section 2, Part B2
Regular Expressions may seem daunting, at first. I certainly found this to be the case. But, with a little perseverance and a lot of practice, it will all fall into place. You will find that it is used in many places where you might be surprised to find it.
Chapter Headings
As I have done with the other sections, the navigation links, to the left, are somewhat abbreviated so I have included the full chapter titles here:
- Chapter 1 - Regular Expressions
- Chapter 2 - Pattern Matching and Substitution
- Chapter 3 - Applications of Regular Expressions
- Chapter 4 - Introduction to Subroutines
- Chapter 5 - References
- Chapter 6 - File Input and Output
- Chapter 7 - Advanced File Input and Output
- Chapter 8 - File Test Operators and the Stat Function
- Chapter 9 - Environment Variables
File access is reasonably straight-forward and it will be put to use in the end-of-section revision assignment.
