in reply to Split lines in file to columns

But value for colD is not captured correctly, as string in colD has sapces in between.
my ($colA, $colB, $colC,$colD) = split( /\s+/, $line, 4);
If value for $colB = XYZ and $colD contains substring = Region , I need to replace the $colB from XYX to N/A.

There are many ways to do this. What did you try? How did it fail?
