Hi,

I just wonder if you can help me to solve this problem. I
have been working on this problem for a few days now
but I still do not know how do it.
I am trying to convert the following paragraphs
from:

header title-aaab_bbb_ccc
+section1 section2

into:

.header title-aaab_bbb_ccc section1 section2

Basically, I need to combine the two lines into one line
and remove the "plus" sign.
I tried this:
       if ( m/^.header\s(.*)\+(\w+)\s(\w+)$/sm ) { 
        print ".header $1 $2  $3\n";<br>
       }

The pattern occurs only one time in the file. I tried a
combination of the above codes but nothing seems to work.
thank you so much for your help,
