Thanks for your replies, when executing this in iterm.. `perl -i -pe' BEGIN { $/ = "}\n" } s/@{[ <<REGEX ]}/@{[ <<STRING ]}/g; if ((!(\$session_login)) or (\$session_access < 5)) { header("Window-Target: _top"); header("Location: index.php"); } REGEX if ((!(\$session_login)) or (\$session_access < 5)) { header("Window-Target: _top"); header("Location: index.php"); exit; } STRING ' *.php` [download] I get back the following error messages Can't find string terminator "REGEX" anywhere before EOF at -e line 3. -bash: BEGIN: command not found -bash: s/@{[: No such file or directory I am probly missing something obvious, due to no EOF usage experience. Any help on these err messages is greatly appreciated!	[reply] [d/l]
