I did the following:
use strict; my $linein = 'jlla jldsfjlfj lfla (1\p=n-\5) fk (2) ljljj ljlfaufi lf +jlakfh (10, 11) lfjdlaj (10, 11\p=n-\15) ndsfdjksnk (2, 15, 16) dkhfa +k'; my $lineout = 'jlla jldsfjlfj lfla (<lr=C1>1</lr>\p=n-\<lr=C5>5</lr>) +fk (<lr=C2>2</lr>) ljljj ljlfaufi lfjlakfh (<lr=C10>10</lr>, <lr=C11 +>11</lr>) lfjdlaj (<lr=C10>10</lr>, <lr=C11>11</lr>\p=n-\<lr=C15>15</ +lr>) ndsfdjksnk (<lr=C2>2</lr>, <lr=C15>15</lr>, <lr=C16>16</lr>) dkh +fak'; my $copy = $linein; $copy =~ s!(\d+)!<lr=C$1>$1</lr>!g; if ( $copy eq $lineout ) { print( "Success!\n" ); } else { print( "Failure!\n" ); }

So, to summarise, a regular expression that exactly matches the example you've provided is:

$line =~ s!(\d+)!<lr=C$1>$1</lr>!g;
