Sll – strip long lines from grep output

• dalke 11y ago
  Two of the other million ways to do this are: perl -ne 'print if length()<1024' awk 'length($0)<1024' Note that if the last line is not newline terminated then the sll and the awk solutions will add a newline, while the perl one will not.

    The equivalent way to preserve the newline semantics in Perl these days is this: perl -lnE 'say if length()<1024'

      You and your new-fangled "perl5". In my day we didn't have "say", or "use", or these fancy "refererences". :)
