If the log is being generated by some other program and you are just processing it, why not just make the substitution before you start processing something like this might do the trick $ sed s/PASSWORD/XXXXXXXX/g <logfile.in >logfile.out $ mv logfile.out logfile.in Rentachintala, Jagan wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am a newbie to perl and I have a question.
