Dear sir,
I have two array variables. I want to find $a[1] and replace $b[1] in a file. ($a[1],$b[1] are array variables) How to find and replace the variable contents. for ($i=0;$i<$totalnum;$i++){ s/$a[i]/$b[i]/g; } Is it possible to do search and replace or kindly suggest me an idea Thanking you Regards Baskaran NK Please give us a little more information... Is the record "fixed length", "packed", "delimited", or "other"? What is the size of the file? Is the occurrence of the value $a[i] only once per record? Maybe a few lines of the file would help us... jwm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
