you guys are awesome as always :)
i will go back and revise my code with hopes it comes out this neat. BUT i need also to know how i can reopen each file and write these pointer values back. See, what this programs main goal is, is to fix another programs mess ups lol. This program i have written goes to text entry and gets the pointer value, which should be written in the upper half of the file and overwriting the incorrect pointer value. if i were to push all the pointers to the array, would it work right if i did a foreach my $line(@array) as to where i could open the files and re write the values in succesion?

OR better that than, i could push pointer to an array, and before closing the file, i could go ahead and do the foreach $line(@array) which would hopefully write the pointers as their correct offset. then once all pointers are written, i could clear the array and open next files and start again.

I guess my next question is, can i loop thru an array like that? and expect the outcome to be right? and apologies for taking so long to respong
