Re^2: search and replace with serialized answers

That's great. I'm on the right path. Let me throw in another curve.

Let's say my input file is as follows:

jack test is a good boy
jill test is a good boy
john test is a good boy
mary test is a good boy
paul test is a good boy
link test is a good boy
karl test is a good boy

Using a simliar script, how would i have it sniff out the text "test" and then serialize the response per the same type of scheme inputing the number of times I want to serialize it? Let's say I want to use 5 times so the results would be:

jack test1 is a good boy
jill test2 is a good boy
john test3 is a good boy
mary test4 is a good boy
paul test5 is a good boy
link test1 is a good boy
karl test2 is a good boy

and what have you tried in order to reach your goal ? please show us so we can direct you on 'the right path'. have you tried modifying the example VinsWorldcom gave ? what was your conclusion and what difficulty did you encounter ? I think you should get a Perl book(maybe this one) and try to read it	[reply]
