- Does anyone know how (and if it is possible) to use perl to
- perform global replacements on files which are in Framemaker
- format?
-
- We have a large number of software documentation files in
- Frame, and for each project we have to go into each file
- and change the project-specific information. I'd like to
- be able to say something like
-
- perl -pi -e 's/PROJECT1/PROJECT2/g' list_of_files...
-
- When I try this, Frame refuses to read the resulting file
- (it has been corrupted somehow). Any clues anyone?
