Dear All,

I need to replace a substring only from a string in a file. I tried with the following coding. But i got the result by replacing all the specified substring in the whole document. I need the substring to be replaced inside the specified string only.

I want to replace "\limits" inside 

"$ a+b=\sum\limit_a^{n-j}$"

#########
open IN, "abc.xml", or die "$!\n";
open OUT, ">iabc.xml", or die "$!\n";

@txt=<IN>;

foreach $xabc (@txt) {
$find=~ m/\$([^\$]*)\$/g;
$find = "\\limits";
$replace = "";
$find = quotemeta $find;
$xabc =~ s/$find/$replace/g;
print OUT $xabc;
}
close($xabc);
