Thanks. I tried to simplify a couple of things when I sent out the first email to make it easier for help. Sorry for the type-o. The single quotes wont work with this though:
$hexval="011884455667733"; $newval='hba0-SCSI-target-id-7-name="$hexval"'; @output = `/usr/bin/perl -p -i -e "s/hba0-SCSI-target-id-1-name=(.*)/$newval/;" /kernel/drv/qla2300.conf`; becuase I neglected to tell you I am using a variable name in there as well ($hexval). How can I get the string: hba0-SCSI-target-id-7-name="011884455667733" to appear in my qla2300.h file? That s/old/new command will not put my quotes in the file??
