I am wanting the Location text when ouputted to the text file to be in bold

Should I fax you though an answer on green paper?

A text file contains text. Text is just characters. Bold is formatting. Text files can contain formatting instructions but these are just stored as text characters as well. In what viewing device do you wish the text to appear bold? Your text file might contain stuff like: 

#In HTML you would do:

<b>Location</b>

#In Latex you would do:

\textbf{Location}

#In an ANSI terminal you need:

\e[1mLocation\e[0m

#In M$ RTF it is:

\b Location\b0

# getting bored now.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
