Hi,

Thanks for your help. I have put my entire code so that you may see where my variables were initialized.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $fileName = "version.txt";
my $fileDest = "version_modified.txt";

die "Problème d'ouverture du fichier $fileName" unless open(my $fh, '<
+', $fileName);
die "Problème de création du fichier $fileDest" unless open(my $fd, '>
+', $fileDest);


my $tot = 0;
my $tot2 = 0;


sub hostname;

sub hostname{
    print $fd $_;
    while (<$fh>){
        if ($_ =~ /^hostname /){
            hostname;
        }else{
#           print $_;
            $tot2++;
        }  
    }
    $tot++;
}

while(<$fh>){
    hostname if ($_ =~ /^hostname /);
}



print $tot."\n";
print $tot2."\n";

close $fh;
close $fd;

I am not sure if the code you suggested should only replace a certain part. I might not have correctly expressed what I was looking for however. What I need to do is find the line containing "hostname ", print that, then do some various modifications on the following lines until I find another "hostname " and repeat. Right now, all I was doing was incrementing $tot2 until I got this to work but eventually this will change.

Thanks!
