Thank you, still new here so I was not aware. So I've gone through and made the changes you've suggested. However, nothing happens with my output.txt file once the code is executed. `use strict; use warnings; open(my $in, "<", "input.txt") or die "Cannot open < input.txt: $!"; open(my $out, ">", "output.txt") or die "Cannot open < output.txt: $!"; while(my $line = <$in>) { $line =~ s/new/old/i; print $out $line; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I used your most recent code with this `input.txt` file: `Out with the old, in with the new. Old stuff is cool. New stuff is also cool. Now to mess with your head: Fortune favors the bold. I knew it.` [download] It produced the following `output.txt` file: `Out with the old, in with the old. Old stuff is cool. old stuff is also cool. Now to mess with your head: Fortune favors the bold. I kold it.` [download] Do you see the problem(s) yet? Hint:It is a useful skill to be able to fabricate good test data.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I do see the problem, I adjusted my regex to fix this `=~ s/\bnew\b/old/ig;`. I was having problems with the output before, It's working fine now. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!	[reply] [d/l]

nothing happens with my output.txt file once the code is executed I don't know what that means. See also: http://sscce.org	[reply]
