Reply:this is a script that will convert all the spaces in the file called a.txt into hyphens and store the result in the file a2.txt





if by $_file you mean it is the file name then replace a.txt with $_file

my @lines = %26lt;FILE%26gt;;


foreach(@lines){


s/\ /-/g;


print OUTPUT "$_ \n";


}
