Dear All,
My test is as follows:

$line = "jlla jldsfjlfj lfla (1\p=n-\5) fk (2) ljljj ljlfaufi  lfjlakf
+h (10, 11) lfjdlaj (10, 11\p=n-\15) ndsfdjksnk (2, 15, 16) dkhfak";

my output of the $line should be like this. 

$line = "jlla jldsfjlfj lfla (<lr=C1>1</lr>\p=n-\<lr=C5>5</lr>) fk (<l
+r=C2>2</lr>) ljljj ljlfaufi  lfjlakfh (<lr=C10>10</lr>, <lr=C11>11</l
+r>) lfjdlaj (<lr=C10>10</lr>, <lr=C11>11</lr>\p=n-\<lr=C15>15</lr>) n
+dsfdjksnk (<lr=C2>2</lr>, <lr=C15>15</lr>, <lr=C16>16</lr>) dkhfak";

my code is as follows: 

$line=~s!\(([1-9]{1,3}((, |\\p=n-\\)[1-9]{1,3})*)\)!\(@{[map"<lr=C$_>$
+_</lr>",split"(, |\\p=n-\\)",$1]}\)!g;

I am getting the following error: 

Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/( <-- HERE , |\p=n-\)/ a
+t s.pl line 8.

Please help in rectifing the error mentioned.

Thanks and Regards,
