Hi,
I have a simple question:

I need to enter some text in a text file at a certain place via perl.
I would first need to find that specific text in the file and then I would like to insert a line after that particular line.

Say I have this text file:

I am a great Perl Programmer

I would like to learn Perl





Now I would like to insert a line called: "My Name is Som" between the two lines.
So I would need a regex to search the line: "I am a great Perl Programmer" and then insert "My Name is Som" in the next line.
What should be the command in perl? I know this is a dumb question.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

You don't need a regexp you just need to find the first line using index() or "eq" then print the line you want to go after that line. When you post some code you have written to try and solve this requirement I will help you some more.

Two approaches are using the Tie::File module that comes with perl or perls inplace editor.
