Could you post the code you have written thus far? It would be a great help.

I am completely lost right from the start with this one. It is far beyond my current Perl skills and I need some serious help :) I want to create a script that searches file_b for the first entry in file_a (router1 in the below example) and once it finds it I would like it to change the next occurrence of "Parent Submap: Any string" to "Parent Submap: second entry in file_a (site1 in the below example)" It would also need to be case-insensitive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
