After getting great help before, I'm back for more. This time I'm working with a similar but different array. I need to do a few things here.... 1) I need to pull any / all lines that start with 'snmp-server host' and stick them into a variable and have this variable formatted as one long line of multiple lines - it'd look similar to this: snmp-server host 10.234.171.46 admin\nsnmp-server host 10.234.171.51 admin frame-relay config snmp\nsnmp-server host 10.234.171.75 admin\n 2) I need to substitute the 4th word in the line(s) starting with 'snmp-server' that is separated by spaces and make it 'Bob' and stick this in a variable, and format it the same as with #1 3) I need to substitute 'snmp-server' with 'no snmp-server' and stick this in a variable I can get #1 & #3 to work if there's just one occurrance in the array, but if there's more than one, then I just get the first one. Any suggestions for any parts would be awesome. thanks, Chris 

So, the output from my code could look like:
$VAR1 = [
          'snmp-server host 10.234.171.38 JCIPPUBL
no cdp advertise-v2
no cdp run
!'
        ];
server host 10.234.171.38 abcd
no snmp-server host 10.234.171.38 abcd \n

or there can be multiple lines such as this:

$VAR1 = [
          'snmp-server host 10.234.171.45 admin
snmp-server host 10.234.171.46 admin

!'
        ];
server host 10.234.171.45 admin
no snmp-server host 10.234.171.45 admin \n

The code is currently:

   or die("No SystemImage\n");

print("$snmp\n");

print("$no_snmp\n");


}
