Hi,

First open file in read mode and store the values in an array.
And then propogate to particular line and depends on your requirement and add xml tag over there in array.
and open the file and put this array content baqck into file.

I suggest to use any XML parser, instead of a file system object.

If you need to do that way, search for the closing of the element tag after which you want to insert your new tag. While reading line by line of the XML file, insert your tag once your condition returns true.

hi

thanks for the response , i found the answer . The following chunck of code made my script work.

use Tie::File;

tie @LINE, 'Tie::File', 'my_file.txt' ;

$new_tag ="";

for my $n (0 .. $#LINE) {
if ($LINE[$n] =~ //) {
splice @LINE, $n+1, 0, $new_html_text;
last;
}
}
untie @LINE;
