Dear Monks,

I have a long list of terms that I want to use to tag terms appearing in different paragraphs of large amounts of texts in the following way:

#terms
ID|related terms delimited by '|'
1|Tesla S|Tesla model V|Tesla model|Tesla
2|Ford RAM truck|2020 Ford Mustand|Ford ranger|Ranger|ford|2020 Ford F
+-250|2020 Ford F250|Ford F 250
3|GM Chevrolet|GM Chevy|GM Chevrolet 2020|Chevrolet|Chevy|Chevrolet 20
+20|GM Chevrolet volt|Chevrolet Captiva Sport|General motors|GM
.
.

Program input: ... 2020 Ford F 250 is great but I prefer Tesla Model-V
+ ...

Desired output: ... <2><2020 Ford F 250> is great but I prefer <1><Tes
+la model-V> ... #<2> and <1> are the IDs for the terms

I was trying to do something like shown below, but it does not work out.
$term1 = 'Tesla S|Tesla model V|Tesla model|TESLA';
$term2 = 'Ford RAM truck|2020 Ford Mustand|Ford ranger|Ranger|ford|202
+0 Ford F-250|2020 Ford F250|Ford F 250';
term1 =~ s/\-/ /g;
term2 =~ s/\-/ /g;
$input = '... 2020 Ford F 250 is great but I prefer Tesla Model-V ...'
+;
$input =~ s/\-/ /g;

$input =~ s/($term1)/\<1\>\<$1\>/ig;
$input =~ s/($term2)/\<2\>\<$1\>/ig;
.
.

Please suggest how to do this an efficient and fast way?

Thank you!
