7/3 Cygwin on NT4 question: is there any way to make the following work? % ls -l s -rwxrwxrwx 1 joeuser mkpasswd 7512 Jul 3 15:36 s* % perl -p -i -e 's/define/FOOO/g' s Can't do inplace edit on s: Permission denied. % ls -l s ls: s: No such file or directory So perl says it can't write to the file, but it can, and then it deletes it. This happens on every file I've tried. TIA. \_ http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=3DA606DD.EEA0B29C%40acm.org |
groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=3DA606DD.EEA0B29C%40acm.org Can't do inplace edit without backup You're on a system such as MS-DOS that gets con fused if you try reading from a deleted (but still opened) file. |
