Can newsgroup articles file be processed by mhonarc?

In my program I use Net::NNTP module to fetch messages form particular newsgroup and append them to regular text file (it seems to me that they are articles in source form) as I matter of fact I use:

...
$art = $nntp->article($msg_num);

if (defined($art)) {
	
	foreach my $l (@$art) {
		print OUT $l;	
	}
	print OUT "\n";

}
...

I attach example file. Can the file of that format be processed by mhonarc the way
mbox file is? I noticed when I split the file into single messages files they (thanks to -add .msg switch) seem to be added (one by one) to archive.

Regards
Darek

There are many ways of looking for what you need in the FAQ list. What I 
gave you is a short-cut that one figures out after finding the entry for 
the first time.

The first time I found that entry was by reading through perlfaq4:

DESCRIPTION
    This section of the FAQ answers questions related to manipulating
    numbers, dates, strings, arrays, hashes, and miscellaneous data
    issues.

Hmmmm .. You would have found the answer had you looked at the table of 
contents and then read perlfaq4.

Have you eleminiated the most likely cause that is explained when you
look that message up in the reference manual (perldiag)?

OK, it's a fair cop! :-) I'll try harder next time.

Thanks for the help.

Hello!

>From some tutorials on the web I managed to create a perl script which finds
and replaces certain occurences in text files via regular expressions.

Then something happened which I cannot really explain, so I hope you can
clarify it for me.

The original perl script looks like this:

-------------------------------
$filein = 'a.txt';
$fileout = 'b.txt';

open(INFO, $filein);
open(INFO2, ">$fileout");

@lines = <INFO>;

grep(s/\n//g,@lines);
grep(s/ab/found/g,@lines);

print INFO2 @lines;

close(INFO);
close(INFO2);
--------------------------------

where a.txt is a file containing:

--------------------------------
a
b
c
--------------------------------

The resulting b.txt contains:

--------------------------------
abc
--------------------------------

So the second regular expression is ignored.

But if I write two perl scripts where each executes only one of the regular
expressions it works with the result:

--------------------------------
foundc
--------------------------------

as expected.

What is the mystery here?

I hope this wasn't too confusing :)
Janbiel

Fix for the "Why are you doing this" :D
