roboticus - Thanks for your reply and the code. I will see if I can work this into my loop since I need to process several files this way. I have already succeeded in replacing the pattern at a given location within a loop but replacing it globally doesnt seem to work even using variations of the $Gibberish sed line included in your example. I did attach an example of my existing code in this thread if you care to review it below. Thanks Again - pbyfire

    pbyfire:

    You can slurp the entire file into a variable by localizing the $/ variable:

    {
    local $/;
    $Gibberish = <$FH>;
}

    If you do that after the open, and before the binmode & seek, you should be able to do a global search & replace on the entire file. Then just put it in a loop...
