Cool...that worked...thanks
I forgot to mention that one the match is found I do a search and replace
if (/[0-9.]{6} setgray/) {
s/.90000 set/-50.2 v \n.90000 set/;
This is the issue. I need to "grab" the match number (whatever it is) and add
it into the s/
So...
if (/[0-9.]{6} setgray/) {
s/NUMBER_FROM_ABOVE set/-50.2 v \nNUMBER_FROM_ABOVE set/;
