There are multiple hello1s and hello2s in the input file at on different lines. Like a paragraph filled with hello1 and hello2 and other text.
I just gave you a simple example.
Your code is not replacing all the instances of hello1 and hello2 and in addition it is printing the hello1 and hello2 into the output file. Any pointers, please?
Thanks a lot for your time.
