Perl Regular Expression - pattern for page break

[citysurfer]

This is an extremely basic question, but I need a regular expression to insert a page break.

The pattern needs to search a text file for the following characters: 31<<<

Where this occurs a page breaks need to be inserted.

 

[PaulTEG]

$body_text=~s/31<<</<whatever you use for a page break>/g;

--Paul

usually the page break for text files is like this

$body_text=~s/31<<</\f/g;

if it is a foo.txt you will see a control char for a page break, but if it is a foo.doc you will see the difference cause it will change pages.
