Yes -- See "perldoc read" and "perldoc seek". Basically, you find where in the file you want to replace text (the offset) then replace from there. > Also, I am still learning how to use perldoc, and I found something is > tutorial... > so.. would anybody tell how many tutorials inside and what are they ? There are tons of online tutorials, but you should start with the perl documentation first. 'perldoc' has several forms, bascically, perldoc PACKAGE or DOCUMENTATION (example above) perldoc -q "some search criteria (q = query) perldoc -f "some function" (example: perldoc -f print) Start with 'perldoc perl'. Hope that gets you started. -Jeff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
