I don't understand the logic behind the substitutions.
This does what you said, though not in a very flexible way, I'm afraid...
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; while(<DATA>){ if( m!\+ vss:G vssa:I! ){ print "+ vss:I vssa:G\n"; } elsif( m!test2block! ){ print "XI48 a b c vdd vcc vss vssa / cd_acore_porbuf\n"; } else { print; } } __DATA__ .SUBCKT testblock a b c vdd vcc vss vssa *.PININFO a:I b:I c:I vdd:I vcc:I + vss:G vssa:I RR0 a vss 9.99967K $[PO] XI48 a b c vdd vcc vss vssa / test2block .ENDS
Could you add a little more context to the question?
