- #metachar.pl Trivial Perl program to protect HTML/SGML "&<>" meta-characters.
- #
- # Typical use:
- #
- # perl htmlchek.pl infile.text > outfile.htmltext
- #
- # This program protects the HTML/SGML metacharacters `&', `<' and `>' by
- # replacing them with the appropriate entity references; it is useful for
- # importing plain text into an HTML file.
- #
- eval "exec /usr/local/bin/perl -S $0 $*"
- if $running_under_some_shell; # this emulates #! processing on NIH machines
- while (<>) {
- if (/[><&]/) {s/&/&/g; s/>/>/g; s/</</g;}
- print $_;}
