I would like to replace a part of a really big (4GB) text file. And the contents that I want to change is really a small but continuous portion. Could some one please help me with the best way I can do this in perl?
You need to tell us more about the problem, but if you need to do this just once then do this: - Write a program to copy the file line by line to a new file - Change that program so that it recognizes and alter the line that must be changed before it is output If you need to do it on a regular basis then your data shouldn't be in a gigantic text file and you should look for other options.
