btw, either script variant can easily be turned into a "one-liner". get rid of the while(<>) loop (and the loop's curly-braces) and the print line, join it all up on one line surrounded with single-quotes, and run it with perl -pe. e.g. perl -pe 'my ($match)=m/\b(?:gene|product|sprot)\s+("[^"]*")/; if ($word) {s/\b^Cne_id\s+(?:"[^"]*")/gene_id $match/}' input.txt
