Durden,
The only change that I need is that I do not want the 'E' to be written over the current character, but instead it needs to be inserted.
Thanks again.

Just figure out that I need to change the "1" to "0" in Durden's example. Thanks a million to both of you.
perl -lne 'substr($_,777,0) = "E" if length != 874; print' $filename > dc_3.txt
