Its a common pattern; `while(<$in>){ print $out $_; if( /word/ ){ print $out scalar <$in>, "APPEND"; } } close $in; close $out; rename $outfile, $infile;` [download] Having a gander at How do I post a question effectively? and How (Not) To Ask A Question might help you help us help you :)	[reply] [d/l]
