Re: How do I add a few stings of text, 30 lines before the EOF?

Why don't you want to read it all and then insert the lines?
splice can be used to do the interpolation.

use strict;
open FILE, "fichero.txt";
my @lines = <FILE>;
close FILE;
my @newlines = ("First\n", "Second\n");
splice @lines,-30,0,@newlines;
print @lines;
