Marty, Yes I want to pass the entire file to 'new file a' and insert ORANGES before APPLES.

I'm guessing you didn't give us the full request. I assume that records without the string APPLES pass unchanged. Records with the string APPLES: do you want to replace the string or the entire record with ORANGES? Or do you want to insert a new record (ORANGES)? If an insert, before or after the record with APPLES?
