Perl
We learned this new language during the course of the project. Following are the few code snippets we created while learning this language.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; #my $what = 'fred'; my $what = "fred|barney"; while(<>) { if( /(?:$what){3}/x ) { print "Matched : [$&]\n"; } else { print "Not Matched\n"; } }

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; my $in_filename = $ARGV[0]; my $out_filename =$in_filename.".out"; if( ! defined $in_filename ) { die("Very less parameters passed"); } open IN , "<" , $in_filename or die ("Unable to open file for reading : $!"); open OUT , ">" , $out_filename or die ("Unable to open file : $!"); while(<>) { s/fred/Larry/gi; print OUT $_; } #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; while (<>) { chomp; if (/match/) { print "Matched: |$`<$&>$'|\n"; } else { print "No match: |$_|\n"; } } #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; while (<>) { chomp; if (/a\b/x) { print "Found a word ending with 'a'\n" } else { print "NO word found\n"; } }
