Hai !
Open the file with any file handler and use regular expression.. This
way it will work.



Open (File handler name ,">>file name");

While ( $string=<filehandler>)
{
   if ( $string = ~ /^Alpha\(a,b,c\)/ )
   {
       $string = "#" . $string ;
       print  <file handler>  $string ;
   }
}

Hello

I should comment out lines in a text file. I have a lot of troubles to
realize this.

The lines
Alpha(a, b, c)
should be changed to
# Alpha(a, b, c)

What I would like to write is a small perl script to make this
convetion.

Thanks

Urs
