Hi Cragun,

First of all thankyou for your time ! Here i didn't understand what you told that 7 vertical bars. Its like suppose in my text file , i have data that looks like:

Code:
LSCRM(Application Name):
1: This is my first application.
2: Today we did shell scripting automation for this app.
3: It was really a good fun in doing so.
4: Really good.| (Here i am using pipe)

After Point 4 you can see pipe as delimiter. Now if i want to cut this whole lscrm value from text file and replace the cut value in a HTML file in text area by:

****************
Code:
lscrm=`cat $file | cut -d '|' -f1`
perl -p -i -e "s#lscrm#$lscrm#g" $common_path/momcpy.html

***************************
I didn't see this value........ "
Code:
1: This is my first application.
2: Today we did shell scripting automation for this app.
3: It was really a good fun in doing so.
4: Really good

" ...........that get cut.

Instead , i see only the first line that is point 1 got cut.i.e. "1: This is my first application."

So, plz reply with any command that can help me get the desired value.

Thanks

IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm)

NAME
"IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream" - stream-based protocols using lines of text SYNOPSIS
Most likely this class will be subclassed to implement a particular network protocol. package Net::Async::HelloWorld; use strict; use warnings; use base qw( IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream ); sub on_read_line { my $self = shift; my ( $line ) = @_; if( $line =~ m/^HELLO (.*)/ ) { my $name = $1; $self->invoke_event( on_hello => $name ); } } sub send_hello { my $self = shift; my ( $name ) = @_; $self->write_line( "HELLO $name" ); } This small example elides such details as error handling, which a real protocol implementation would be likely to contain. DESCRIPTION
EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters: on_read_line $line Invoked when a new complete line of input is received. PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure": on_read_line => CODE CODE reference for the "on_read_line" event. METHODS
$lineprotocol->write_line( $text ) Writes a line of text to the transport stream. The text will have the end-of-line marker appended to it; $text should not end with it. AUTHOR
