in reply to arrays and hash tables
in thread replacing text in specific tags

It works for me. Execute the following:
@lines = qw( {B001:B001} {B002:B002} {B003:B003} {B00kr:B004} {B00krup:B005} {B00krupa:B006} {B007:B007} {B008:B008} ); for (@lines) { if(/\{B00(.+?):B00(.+?)\}/){ $values{$2} = $1; print "$1:$2:$values{$2}\n"; } } __END__ 1:1:1 2:2:2 3:3:3 kr:4:kr krup:5:krup krupa:6:krupa 7:7:7 8:8:8

    hi,

    I have a ascii text file with the following text

    Aaaa <xx>BBBBB</xx> Ccccc

    Bbbb <xx>CCCCC</xx> Ddddd

    i need to just change the text between <xx> tag to lowercase.

    Please help me.

      I am really sorry to say this, but have you even bothered to get and look into Jeffrey Friedl's Mastering Regular Expressions? You have asked a lot of similar questions along the lines of "I want to do this, please tell me how to do it".
      The Monastery is a place for you to learn something by looking at the answers of specific questions, but is by no means a substitute for a good Perl/RegEx book or a tutorial. Browse through the Tutorials section. Have a look at the book reviews. And consider starting a new thread when you are asking a question that is not related to the thread you are replying to, especially if you are replying to a post that is already 56 days old.
      Sorry if this was a bit harsh, but this is how I feel and I suppose I should at least inform you about it.
      Have a nice day.
      Cheers,
      CombatSquirrel.
