    Maybe something like this: 
    my $text = '\section{Funding\qr{The Funding statement in the Acknowled
+gment has been moved to Funding section. Please check and confirm if 
+the edit is fine and amend if necessary.}}';
$text =~ s/(\\qr\{.*?\})\}/}\n\n$1/g;
print "$text\n";

    [download]
    The regular expression grabs the \qr followed by "simple" text in curly braces, and puts it after the curly brace of the \section. This prints: 
    \section{Funding}

\qr{The Funding statement in the Acknowledgment has been moved to Fund
+ing section. Please check and confirm if the edit is fine and amend i
+f necessary.}

    Is the text always on a single line?

    How are paragraphs delimited?

    Can you show the expected output?

    It's not clear whether the text should be placed into the subsequent paragraphs or in the below paragraph.

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      Welcome to Perl and the Monastery, ponni!

      AFAICT, this is simply additional information to your question from yesterday. In this case, please reply to the original thread instead of starting a new one. But please don't re-post this node either; I have considered it for moving into that thread.

      What have you tried? What documentation have you read?
