Hi, thnx! i put the warnings on. While xecuting the cmd interface tells me if he can not find a file. But he can, so the a.txt file adress should be ok. bīBut there is still no effect and no warnings. Your comment on the @ lines sounds convenient, so finally he is copying the old line in the new line and nothing is happening? How can I fix that issue? And here (sorry not the original but the same principle)the code (which has no effect): 

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w      

  

use strict;


my $SCU='C:/Users/name/Desktop/a.txt';


open(FILE, "<$SCU") || die "File not found";

my @lines = <FILE>;

close(FILE);


my @newlines;

foreach(@lines) {
 
  $_ =~ s/<ABCD>/xyz/g;
 
  push(@newlines,$_);
}


open(FILE, "$SCU") || die "File not found";

print FILE @newlines;

close(FILE);
