haha Smilie

I know that it's a bit weird to try what I do, but I just want to atleast try to see how it performs.

Thanks for that link, and I did try those if/elses, but the problem is that it works line by line (as it should, but thats the problem!) which means that it won't work for me. I want to see if a string was found in the ENTIRE document, not only if it contains on line by line basis.

(Thats an edit from the previously mentioned pseudo I had, since I didn't know I would get this problem)

If the string is found in the entire document:
do this
else
do this

I'm beginning to believe that its not possible so I guess this is my last attempt. I would love to test this solution as it will solve a big problem for me.

PPI::Statement::Null(3) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   PPI::Statement::Null(3)

NAME
PPI::Statement::Null - A useless null statement SYNOPSIS
my $foo = 1; ; # <-- Null statement my $bar = 1; INHERITANCE
PPI::Statement::Null isa PPI::Statement isa PPI::Node isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
"PPI::Statement::Null" is a utility class designed to handle situations where PPI encounters a naked statement separator. Although strictly speaking, the semicolon is a statement separator and not a statement terminator, PPI considers a semicolon to be a statement terminator under most circumstances. In any case, the null statement has no purpose, and can be safely deleted with no ill effect. METHODS
"PPI::Statement::Null" has no additional methods beyond the default ones provided by PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element. SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module. AUTHOR
