I'm not sure from the way the question is worded but, since it is a registry file the requirement might be just to change those lines with "jupiter" and "napre" (are they hostnames?) leaving other lines in the file untouched. `-pe` might be more appropriate. `perl -pi.bak -e "s/\bnapre/Text1/gi; s/\bjupiter/Text2/gi;" GPPRegistr +y` [download] Just a guess.

The output of the command is: perl -ne "print if /\\bnapre/i \|\| /\\bjupiter/i;" GPPRegistry.temp.reg "DBLogin"="napre" "DSN"="jupiter" "DBLogin"="napre" "Login"="napre" "Password"="napre" "DBLogin"="napre" I want in the same command to replace "napre" with "TEST1" and present it (Not change the file yet). after this command the fields include "napre" are despaired and the replacement of "napre" weren't be shown perl -ne 's/napre/Text1/gi; print if /\bnapre/i \|\| /\bjupiter/i;' GPPRegistry.temp.reg "DSN"="jupiter" "DSN"="jupiter"	[reply]
