in reply to replace a column

Would you elaborate on your question please? Specifically, if you could provide a couple of rows of data, and indicate what form it currently has. Perhaps it is on disk, perhaps in an AoA, or AoH...

I don't think we can help without more information.

    yes, think your right i have replaced the column with white space that needs replacing: input file: 
    0.00  X  1.000  
0.530 X  0.753
# output values for residue    1
     0
# input   
0.00   X  1.00  
0.555  X  0.683
# output values for residue    2
     0

    so replace the X's with data from oter file: 
    0.99
0.99
0.99
0.99

    i thought something along the lines 
    open (FILE, "<filetoedit");
open (NEED, "<insert");
open (OUT, ">dine");

@array = <NEED>;
$end = scalar @array;

$count = 0;

while (<FILE>) {

for ($count = 0; $count < $end; $count++) {
###then some how replace x's with the new values
