Hello,
I have a text file in a columnar format. There are seven entries in a row, separated by tabs.
eg.
1 23 555 34 Corporation Index Sediment
This has to be tagged as:
<no>1</no><code>23</code><set>555</set><id>34</id><status>Corporation</status><value>Index</value><type>Sediment</type>
I have stored the file contents to $_ and I am using the regex
$_=~s/([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)\t/<no>$1<\/no><code>$2<\/code><set>$3<\/set><id>$4<\/id><status>$5<\/status><value>$6<\/value><type>$7<\/type>/g;
I am not able to get the text tagged. Can anyone help me out to get my desired codes?
Thanks,
Sriram
