This will do it. See perlrun for the explanation of the switches used. In particular, look at the documentation for -i.bak for in-place editting of files; -0ooo for setting 'paragraph mode'; -p for processing a file as a filter.

If you don't understand, ask and someone will help you.

C:\test>type 577397.dat
"1"
{
"data1" "test.V1_0";
"StrCatDone" "0";
"seq_name" "sequence.V5_0";
"seq_step" "22";
}
"2"
{
"data1" "test.V1_0";
"StrCatDone" "1";
"seq_name" "sequence.V5_0";
"seq_step" "41";
}

## Note: This should be typed as one line but is wrapped for posting.
## On *nix system, you'lll need 's instead of "s.
