The textfile contains text like this
[Event "?"] [Result "*"] [SetUp "1"] [FEN "4b3/pq2p1k1/1p1pP2R/1P1P2K1/2rp4/8/P5Q1/8 w - - 0 50"] [PlyCount "0"] * [Event "?"] [Round "39"] [Result "*"] [SetUp "1"] [FEN "5rk1/5p1p/3q2p1/1Rp1n3/P3P3/3Pb1pP/2Q3B1/3R3K b - - 0 1"]

I want to change [Event "?"] to [Event "Black to move"] if in the line [FEN .... ] I find a space, then b followed by another space

and to change it to [Event "White to move"] if in the line [FEN .... ] I find a space, then w followed by another space

I have tried to use lookahead, but as have not programmed anything in Perl for quite a while with no success.

Sorry for beeing unclear
