Hi,
If I've understood your problem, what you can simply try is
$string = "but";
print "Before: $string ";
$string =~ s/u/a/g;
print "After: $string\n";
You will get as output
$ Before: but After: bat
Cheers,
Bedanta

this pushes the replaced values into @newdata? How is this keeping
Nope,
open(CONFIG, "< /home/mnorris/$first_file") || die "Sorry, I couldn't READ
/home/mnorris/$first_file\n";
while () {
s//$first_var/;
push @newdata, $_;
}
close(CONFIG);
open(NEWCFG, "> /home/mnorris/$first_file") || die "Sorry, I couldn't WRITE to
