hi Iam pavan . I need to run a perl script that runs on a file and does
the following.

The file may look like like this
pavan.h:

pavan_here hi how r u
pavan_there Iam fine
pavan_now typing

Search for words containing pavan(say)
In the above example it much search for pavan_here, pavan_there ,
pavan_now and modify those words such that
1.underscores must be eliminated
2. Next letter to underscore(i.e anyletter after underscore) must
become capital.


I mean to say when I run the script the file must modify to

pavanHere hi how r u
pavanThere Iam fine
pavanNow typing

Hope you understood the problem

If your system is set up properly then you can run a perl script simply by
typing it's name on the command line.
If that is not your problem then we will need much more details about your
system and how exactly you are trying to run the script.

To modify text people often use the 's' (aka substitute) function

This could also be done by the 'tr' function

The easiest way is probably to use the 'ucfirst' function.

I understand your goal (at least I think), that was a good description.
But you didn't explain what your problem is nor did you give us enough
information to fix it. Where are you stuck? Which part of your program is
not working as expected? Where is your program to begin with?

Sorry, I have not written any script at all. I know how to run a
script. But I want a code to do that. Also tell me whether is it
possible in vim "search and replace" command.

Please read the posting guidelines for this group, and then write a
script that attempts to accomplish what you want.

Then, come back here and ask about issues you can't solve.

I think the going consulting rate here is about $100. Unfortunately,
most of us have really busy schedules, which means we can't take on new
clients all the time.

This is not a "write my code for me" service.

This is a generic question ...... A single vim command can do it. But I
dont know much abt vim.

Then learn. On your own or with the help of the friendly people over in
comp.editors.

I won't be seeing your posts again.

No problem. Now is as good a time to start as any. I recommend "Learning
Perl", availaible in your favourite book store.

Good.

Trying to understand: you want to run your script from your code? Please see
"perldoc -f system".

Maybe you should ask in a NG that deals with vim about if it is possible to
run a script in the vim "search and replace" command.

What is a generic question? I don't see any in your post.

HUH? 100? Per hour? Where can I get that kind of work?
