Hello anirbanphys,

One possible way is:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use IO::All; use Data::Dumper; use feature 'say'; my @lines = io('file.txt')->chomp->slurp; print Dumper \@lines; for my $i (0 .. $#lines) { if ($lines[$i] =~ /operating_conditions/) { # Insert at position 12, replace 0 elements. splice @lines, $i + 5, 0, 'default_operating_conditions : "AB0.5v4 +5c" ;'; last; # break loop } next; } print Dumper \@lines; __END__ $ perl test.pl $VAR1 = [ 'library(and_gate) {', ' delay_model : table_lookup ;', ' date : "Fri Mar 15 03:44:39 " ;', ' time_unit : 1ms ;', ' voltage_unit : 1V ;', ' current_unit : 1A ;', '', ' operating_conditions ("AB0.5v45c") {', ' process : 1 ;', ' temperature : 45 ;', ' voltage : 0.5 ;', ' }', '', ' input_voltage(default) {', ' vi : 0 ;', ' vh : 0.5 ;', ' vim : 0 ;', ' vin : 0.5 ;', ' }', '', '}' ]; $VAR1 = [ 'library(and_gate) {', ' delay_model : table_lookup ;', ' date : "Fri Mar 15 03:44:39 " ;', ' time_unit : 1ms ;', ' voltage_unit : 1V ;', ' current_unit : 1A ;', '', ' operating_conditions ("AB0.5v45c") {', ' process : 1 ;', ' temperature : 45 ;', ' voltage : 0.5 ;', ' }', 'default_operating_conditions : "AB0.5v45c" ;', '', ' input_voltage(default) {', ' vi : 0 ;', ' vh : 0.5 ;', ' vim : 0 ;', ' vin : 0.5 ;', ' }', '', '}' ];

Update: I have hard-coded the data but you can do the parsing. My approach is to read the file in an array so you can know the exact position of the line that you want to alter. Next step insert a new line without altering the array using splice.

Sample of code to split string and insert it:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use IO::All; use Data::Dumper; use feature 'say'; my @lines = io('file.txt')->chomp->slurp; print Dumper \@lines; for my $i (0 .. $#lines) { if ($lines[$i] =~ /operating_conditions/) { # split line based on white space my @elements = split /\s+/, $lines[$i]; # remove first and last character of the string $elements[2] =~ s/^.(.*).$/$1/; # Insert string at position 12, replace 0 elements. splice @lines, $i + 5, 0, "default_".$elements[1]." : ".$elements[2].""; last; # break loop } next; } print Dumper \@lines; __END__ $ perl test.pl $VAR1 = [ 'library(and_gate) {', ' delay_model : table_lookup ;', ' date : "Fri Mar 15 03:44:39 " ;', ' time_unit : 1ms ;', ' voltage_unit : 1V ;', ' current_unit : 1A ;', '', ' operating_conditions ("AB0.5v45c") {', ' process : 1 ;', ' temperature : 45 ;', ' voltage : 0.5 ;', ' }', '', ' input_voltage(default) {', ' vi : 0 ;', ' vh : 0.5 ;', ' vim : 0 ;', ' vin : 0.5 ;', ' }', '', '}' ]; $VAR1 = [ 'library(and_gate) {', ' delay_model : table_lookup ;', ' date : "Fri Mar 15 03:44:39 " ;', ' time_unit : 1ms ;', ' voltage_unit : 1V ;', ' current_unit : 1A ;', '', ' operating_conditions ("AB0.5v45c") {', ' process : 1 ;', ' temperature : 45 ;', ' voltage : 0.5 ;', ' }', 'default_operating_conditions : "AB0.5v45c" ;', '', ' input_voltage(default) {', ' vi : 0 ;', ' vh : 0.5 ;', ' vim : 0 ;', ' vin : 0.5 ;', ' }', '', '}' ];

Update 2: All the commends together in one solution:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use IO::All; use Data::Dumper; my @lines = io('file.txt')->chomp->slurp; for my $i (0 .. $#lines) { if ($lines[$i] =~ /operating_conditions/) { # split line based on white space my @elements = split /\s+/, $lines[$i]; # remove first and last character of the string $elements[2] =~ s/^.(.*).$/$1/; # Insert string at position 12, replace 0 elements. splice @lines, $i + 5, 0, " default_".$elements[1]." : ".$elements[2].""; last; # break loop } next; } # print Dumper \@lines; io('out.txt')->appendln($_) for @lines; __END__ $ perl test.pl $ cat out.txt library(and_gate) { delay_model : table_lookup ; date : "Fri Mar 15 03:44:39 " ; time_unit : 1ms ; voltage_unit : 1V ; current_unit : 1A ; operating_conditions ("AB0.5v45c") { process : 1 ; temperature : 45 ; voltage : 0.5 ; } default_operating_conditions : "AB0.5v45c" input_voltage(default) { vi : 0 ; vh : 0.5 ; vim : 0 ; vin : 0.5 ; } }

Update 3: Adding a better (more strict) regex to the solution:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use IO::All; use Data::Dumper; my @lines = io('file.txt')->chomp->slurp; for my $i (0 .. $#lines) { if ($lines[$i] =~ m/\s\soperating_conditions*/) { # split line based on white space my @elements = split /\s+/, $lines[$i]; # remove first and last character of the string $elements[2] =~ s/^.(.*).$/$1/; # Insert string at position 12, replace 0 elements. splice @lines, $i + 5, 0, " default_".$elements[1]." : ".$elements[2]." ;"; last; # break loop } next; } # print Dumper \@lines; io('out.txt')->appendln($_) for @lines; __END__ $ perl test.pl $ cat out.txt library(and_gate) { delay_model : table_lookup ; date : "Fri Mar 15 03:44:39 " ; time_unit : 1ms ; voltage_unit : 1V ; current_unit : 1A ; operating_conditions ("AB0.5v45c") { process : 1 ; temperature : 45 ; voltage : 0.5 ; } default_operating_conditions : "AB0.5v45c" ; input_voltage(default) { vi : 0 ; vh : 0.5 ; vim : 0 ; vin : 0.5 ; } }

Hope this helps, BR.
