here's the question: I've got an array of unknown length. Inside of it are sets of lines that differ very slightly. (example is below) I am trying to go in and replace some of those lines via information generated in the program. Example of array: 
 --- Topic $spot ---\n
 Ordr 1:56\n
 Rply 1:0\n
 Time 1:January 24, 2001 (4:30pm)\n
 Name 1:George\n
 Type 1:Announcement\n
 Char 1:no\n
 Mail 1:yes\n
 Head 1:New Post\n
 Body 1:This is the body\n
 Mdfy 1:January 24, 2001 (4:30pm)\n
 --- End Topic ---

The goal here is to find the line that includes both the title (ie: body) and the number I want and remember the line number so i can replace it later. So I have to look for something like Body ${number} and cannot just put words into s///. how do I go about doing this?
