Thank you guys for your fast answers. Sorry for the html, as i posted it through the backupcentral forum, it modified the config part in html, didn't expect that.
Well, i'm gonna look the given solutions to get it work. Sorry for my confuse question. I know about the arrays etc. The goal is for me to change settings, even if it's a single value, or a complex array by replacing the all param in the config file. I already know how to get a well formed array to reproduce perl's one from bash or php. My first problem was erasing the specific area in the configuration file (only the modified value). I'm gonna try to make : 1 : remove the desired value from config file (by any of the solutions you tell me above) 2 : add new configuration in the file (by ex in shell : echo "$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = ['400']; ">>/etc/BackupPC/pc/my_config_file.pl (just to tell how i plan, i know i'll have to add \ before special chars.) I think you see the way i wanna make it work.
