Hi, help on this is much needed. The following code works fine 
local $/= "# input for ";
while (<FILE1>) {
        s/1\.00/5/g if /Data\b\n/;
        print;
                }

input file looks like: 
# input for Data

1.00  0.99  0.92
1.00 -0.22  0.61

But now can i adjust the code so that it only edits 1.00 on first line only. This file goes on with Data1 Data2 etc with different pairs of lines. Thanks
