Subject: Re: [Boston.pm] Perl style regex in shell command for matching across lines?
Dear Ranga,

Two clarifications on my previous email.

I wrote:

What I meant to write is this:

> If the overhead of invoking perl is your performance bottleneck, that is a
> pleasant problem to deal with.

I also wrote:

> Even perl 4.x is better than sed or awk.  [...]

What I meant to write is:

> Even perl 4.x regexes give you much more power than sed or awk.  [...]

peace,                                     || What can one hour achieve?
