Regular Expression Question 2

[dbadmin]

Hi Gurus,

I have a text file with about 200 lines. I need to search for a particular word "testing" and then add a character ":" at the end of those lines containing that word

Thank you in advance,
dbadmin

Hi

perl -pe 's/\n/:\n/ if/testing/' /input/file

This is an alternative in case (a) the last line is nonempty and (b) containing "testing" and (c) still want a colon be inserted.
[tt] 's/(\n|$)/:\1/ if/testing/'[/tt]

Also made a quick test, on windows, it needs to enclose it with double quote, like it or not!
