Hello Monks, I am trying to create a function that will replace an entire line in a scalar variable if a certain sub string is found. The variable contains a bunch of paths to different files and what I want to do is replace the entire line if that sub string is found. Thank you monks for your endless wisdom!

Hi,

See Replacing a block of text inside two keys with another block of text Perl reading in a file and getting a string in between two strings on different lines

The code you have now posted does not do anything

It also does not take anything from the previous replies you've received

Try something different, this approach to getting wisdom is not working for you
