Hello Monks,

I have a file that looks like this:

Solar system has 8 planets.

Earth is the only planet where life exists.

best part of the place is sunset.

kayak nyc nurse.

solar winds.

Colors seen in flowers are blue, pink, and purple.

name city job.

country .

Some of the other plantes are mars, jupitor and neptune.

ny.

water the plants.

solar power.

Colors seen in flowers are blue, pink, and purple.

name city job.

country.

My requirement is whenever the sentence comes "solar winds", the next 3rd line "country" should change to "place" and whenever the sentence "solar power" comes, the next 3rd line must change to "wrong line". the file has this in multiple places, multiple number of times. I have to write this in perl script. Anyone has any ideas?

In reply to Edit lines from a file and replace multiple lines. by Endurance

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
