Reading/Writing Files with 4GL

[mja37]

I want to read-in a textfile (input) line by line, and if any line matches a value contained in a seperate textfile (reference) that line in the input is changed to the value that occurs 5 lines after it in the input.

Thanks man, that is exactly what I needed to read-in from the file.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to modify each line based on a conditional statement else skip/print what was read in.
