Unknown regexp modifier "/C" at -e line 2, at end of line
Unknown regexp modifier "/_" at -e line 2, at end of line
Unknown regexp modifier "/0" at -e line 2, at end of line
syntax error at -e line 2, near "(."
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

My example was for illustrative purpose, so you can adapt the regex to suit your code. You simply copy-pasted it in your code. It won't work that way.

1) Why put single-quotes within single-quotes? Your Perl code starts after "-ne" and goes up to "out_position.txt". Your Perl code is within single quotes. If you put something in single quotes inside it, how will the perl interpreter understand it?

2) Why use the s/// operator inside the "if" branch? What is Perl supposed to do if you use s/// operator inside the "if" branch? Check the documentation: s - perldoc.perl.org

3) Why use the "print" function inside the "if" branch? What is Perl supposed to do if you do that?

4) Where is the closing forward-slash ("/") character in the "if" branch? If you do not demarcate the pattern you want to search, how will Perl know it? Check the syntax of the "if" branch: if - perldoc.perl.org
