Here is the task that I was presented with:
I am dealing with about a 10,000 line input deck file for an analysis. About 10 separate blocks of around 25 lines of code each need to be updated in the input deck.
The input deck (deckToChange in the code below) comes with 2 separate files. File 1 is just the blocks of code that need to be changed written consecutively (OLDFILE in the code below), and file 2 is the same blocks of code that have already been altered (NEWFILE in the code below)
The same process is going to be repeated with 1000's of input decks making the same changes, so the code needs to repeatable.
Right now, in the code I have written below, all the changes are properly made except for any line that starts with a $. the $ start to lines in the input deck occurs about 3 times per file. With the code below the lines starting with the $ are not updated with changes in the new file. I am wondering if there is anyway I can read in the lines of code from OLDFILE and NEWFILE with the $ being treated as $
This is a rather urgent problem, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
