Hi all,
I have a text that broken into sections. Each section has comments(;) and
can be placed anywhere, Each section ends with "*ENDS" . Each section
begins with a *KEYWORD, where keyword is any word like DESCRIPTION,
OPERATION, FOO, AND BAR. I want to read in this one section at a time. I
then want to work exclusively on one section(DESCRIPTION). Can someone
enlighten me a bit. I want to know how to read this in by section (as oposed
to line) that ends with (*ENDS). Then I want to know how to tell what
section I'm in (*DESCRIPTION), and then I want to know where to do my search
and replace (s/INFILE/TEST/). I hope someone can help me out. Thanks so
much for your continued patience!
Example Text
<snip>
; Test
; Test
*DESCRIPTION
; More comments
INFILE = blach
OUTFILE = test
;
;
*ENDS
;
;
*LAYERS
LAYER=1
;
*ENDS
;
