-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a few questions.. I need to edit a few files with a bunch text. I am creating forward and reverse zone file for a private network and I want to automate this tedious process.. Here is what I have. I create a basic template in excel, it is as follows; host15,1,in,a,10,50,15,1 host15,2,in,a,10,50,15,2 host15,3,in,a,10,50,15,3 What I need done after this file is populated is make it look like this; host15-1 in a 10.50.15.1 host15-2 in a 10.50.15.2 host15-3 in a 10.50.15.3 So I need the first comma changed to a minus, the next two comma's a tab, and the last three changed to periods. I can do some of this with 'cut' but not everything I want to do... I figure I cannot be the only one that has had to populate a massive amount of forward and reverse files in bind.. I figure there might be a perl script for this??
