Thank you RudiC. I tried. It replaces only the first occurance in the input text file. output: #create_test -type hard -outer { 1.0000 } { \ psfxxx_16_pi/psfop/deadline_north_re_0 } create_ test -type hard -outer { 0.0000 } { \ psfxxx_16_pi/psfop/deadline_south_re_1 }

Hi! RudiC. Your fix works. Great! my input file had an issue. It had create_ in one line and test... in the next. Fixed it and it's working fine now. You are a genius.

You can see in my sample output that it replaces on matching records, and doesn't if no match. What's different in your input file? Hoppla - cross post.
