When I posted it duplicated every time I hit "Reload" on Netscape. Trust me--it was not on purpose. : )

I am using vi and was writing a regex for the search/replace but wanted to check for known solutions before I spent a lot of time trying to reinvent something if I didn't have to. I am open to other suggestions if working with MIFs is not the best option. This has to be accomplished on UNIX (Solaris) with a perl script though. Can you do a traditional "import formats" from the command line as opposed to search/replace in each file?

The general project is to write a perl script that will take a FM template (book) and replace the variable definitions (based on a form users fill out) and also replace a $docid$ string in 4 paragraph tags numbering (with the docid from the form). A few template-only files need to be removed and the book regenerated so we were converting to MIF (or starting with a directory of MIF files), removing the template-only files, replacing the variable defs and $docid$ strings, and converting back to FM (regenerating the book to update numbering).

Thanks,
