Dear Sarmat89,

I just did what you suggested and I got this in linux terminal:

k**~**Documents**perl -pe 's/\n\n+/\|\|/sg' <grand.txt> output1.txt
bash: output1.txt: Is a directory

Now output1.txt is seen as a directory.

The txt files are in my Documents directory and I did a cd Documents so that I am in this directory when I entered the code.

Can you pinpoint the problem?

cordially,
pz
