If you consider posting a question here, you should phrase your questions more carefully, see, for example, How (Not) To Ask A Question.
I understand your question as follows:
You want to write a Perl snippet that comments the first two of the above lines out by putting a "#" in front of them and then you want the second part surrounded by double quotes and the string " f(fix,1371) core(60000)" substituted by ",record(1371)".
You furthermore consider everything after /apost, including it by itself, the second part of the line.
The code snippet would be:
#!perl -w

use strict;

for (1..2) {
   print "# " . <DATA>;
}
while (<DATA>) {
   unless (s/(\/apost.*?)(\s*f\(fix,1371\)\s+core\(60000\))(.*$)/"$1,r
+ecord(1371)$3"/) {
      s/(\/apost.*$)/"$1"/;
   }
   print;
}

__DATA__
win-Line<br>
otsort ../data/ABC_DE_WKey_out.dat ../data/ABC_DE_WKey_out.srt /apost 
+s(1001,8,c,a) om(1001,1,c,EQ,' ') f(fix,1371) core(60000)<br>
<br>
Unix-Line<br>
otsort ../data/ABC_DE_WKey_out.dat ../data/ABC_DE_WKey_out.srt /apost 
+s(1001,8,c,a),om(1001,1,c,EQ,' ') f(fix,1371) core(60000)

When you post here, you should clarify your questions and ask them as precisely as possible. Also, The above is very standard Perl, so that I would recommend you to go to the Tutorials section.

Hope this helped.
