I beleive then what you want to do is to open in "+>" mode for read write. Then read the file then start writing.	[reply]

If all you're doing is writing to the end of the file, it's easy. When you open it, open it to "append" - meaning, what you write is added to the end of the file. `open FH, ">>", $file or die "Can't open $file: $!";` It's always a good idea to test when you open, in case something happened. If you don't, you may have a very hard time figuring out what went wrong, later on.	[reply] [d/l]

So, it sounds like you are saying "I want to append data to the end of my file." If that's true, follow the advice of the comment below and read up on the open() function. It tells you how to open a file to append it. $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ Deacon"; $nysus = $PM . $MCF; Click here if you love Perl Monks	[reply]

my aim is: when i reach the last line of the file.. i will add some text to that line and finish the program. Oh "XY", then: you really want to ask X, but you think you need Y to do that, and ask about Y. This sounds like: "I want to append to the end of file". If so, then just either open in `>>` mode if you only want to append, or `+>` if you also want to read it before writing something in it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
