flat file - Why won't Strawberry Perl remove these form feed characters? -

i'm running strawberry perl on winxp, , i'm trying process unix-formatted flat file. flat file uses line feed characters delimit fields, , form feed characters delimit record. trying convert ff else (crlf, ';', tab, etc). have tried using next perl one-liners no success:

perl -p -e 's/\f/\r\n/g' < unix.txt > dos.txt perl -p -e 's/\x0c/\x0d\x0a/g' < unix.txt > dos.txt perl -p -e 's/\f/\t/g' < unix.txt > dos.txt

the thing i've noticed the dos.txt ends lf chars converted crlf, ff chars remain. i've tried reprocess dos.txt file, 1 time again trying replace ff, still no dice. still much perl newbie, maybe i'm missing something? know why above commands don't want them do?

the problem windows shell doesn't interpret single quotes way unix shell does. should utilize double quotes in commands.

c:\ perl -e "print qq/foo\fbar/" > test.txt c:\ type test.txt foo♀bar c:\ perl -pe 's/\f/__ff__/' < test.txt foo♀bar c:\ perl -pe "s/\f/__ff__/" < test.txt foo__ff__bar

How do I check if an insert was successful with MySQLdb in Python? - i have code: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(("insert new_files (videos_id, filename, " "is_processing) values (%s,%s,1)"), (id, filename)) logging.warn("%d", cursor.rowcount) if (cursor.rowcount == 1): logging.info("inserted values %d, %s", id, filename) else: logging.warn("failed insert values %d, %s", id, filename) cursor.close() fun is, cursor.rowcount always one, though updated database create videos_id unique key. is, insert fails because in tests same videos_id going appear (and when check database, nil inserted). whatever reason, rowcount 1 - logging.warn have spits out rowcount of 1. so, question: can utilize rowcount work out if insert went fine? if so, (presumably) doing wrong? otherwise, how check if insert went fine? your code not commit after modifications (your modifications rolled back). should...
