Thanks a lot for the great help. It seems exactly what I want. But I couldn't do it ;-( Actually, I have not adequate experience, yet, in perl or even linux so I need further help. I have a file called newfile.lyx that contains (after exporting to Latex)
%% LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/. %% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing. \documentclass[english]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage{makeidx} \makeindex \makeatletter %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% User specified LaTeX commands. \makeindex \makeatother \begin{document} This\index{This} is\index{is} a test.\pagebreak This\index{This} is another test. \printindex{} \end{document} --------------------------------------------- Now, I tried your command like this [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]$ perl -pi -e 's:is:\n\\begin_inset LatexCommand \\index{is}\n\n\end_inset\n' newfile.lyx Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1. I also tried it like this ({is}\\index) but the same error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]$ perl -pi -e 's:is:\n\\begin_inset LatexCommand {is}\\index\n\n\end_inset\n' newfile.lyx This is the error message I've got. I am sorry if I seems stupid. في 3:22 م جمعة 28 فبراير 2003، كتبت: > On Fri, Feb 28, 2003 at 02:18:42PM +0300, Munzir Taha wrote: > > But why isn't there any way?
