Dear all,
I have a number of files and each file has two sections separated by a blank line. At the top section, I have lines which describes the values of the alphabetical characters,
# s #; 0.123
# p #; 12.3
# d #; -2.33
# f #; 5.68
<blank line>
sssssss
spfdffff
sdfffffff
Now I want "s" should be replaced by 0.123 in last three lines, "d" by -2.33 etc. Number of alphabetical characters vary in each file and also the number of lines below the blank line may vary.
I am seeking for a perl program preferably, to automate text processing.
-regards and thanks,
satti
