Adding lines of text to a file Can't Post
Hi all,

I did a cursory search but was unable to find anything.

I'm trying to edit a txt file using perl. What I want to do is add 3 lines of text to a certain line number in an existing file. Can anyone point me in the right direction to accomplish this. I am able to count the line numbers but I'm not sure what to do next.

ie.

Old file

Code
  
 
a  
 
b  
 
f  
 
g

New file

Code
  
 
a  
 
b  
 
c  
 
d  
 
e  
 
f  
 
g

Use Tie::File or perls inplace editor. Post the code you have written so far.
