my %dic=();
open(D, $def) || die "can't open definition file:$def\n";
while (<D>) {
    my ($oldp, $newp) = split  /#/; 
    $dic{$oldp}=$newp;
} close(D);
my $file="input.txt";
open(F, $file) || die "can't open definition file:$file\n";
open(W, '>out.txt') or  die "can't write to file:$!\n";
my $line=join "", <F>;
