perl -pe defaults to printing each line. Kind of depends on what your mean by "original format".

sorry
for being vague
i am using
perl -ne 'print unless /^but it does not prints in orignal format
what it reads from. I mean to say each line as it is.
Thanks

If I have a file that has-
abc
defgh
ij
klmn

Then read this with perl -ne 'print', I get-
abc
defgh
ij
klmn

It maintains the orginal format...
