Hi guys. I have a text file that looks like
January 1, 1915 Franck Pourcel
January 3, 1926 George Martin
January 3, 1945 Stephen Stills
January 3, 1946 John Paul Jones
January 4, 1942 John McLaughlin
January 5, 1950 Chris Stein
And I want to replace it with
January 1, 1915 (Birthday) Franck Pourcel - singer
January 3, 1926 (Birthday) George Martin - singer
January 3, 1945 (Birthday) Stephen Stills - singer
January 3, 1946 (Birthday) John Paul Jones - singer
January 4, 1942 (Birthday) John McLaughlin - singer
January 5, 1950 (Birthday) Chris Stein - singer
Sometimes the spaces after the year are less or more.
This is what I got so far.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
open(LOG, "source.txt") or die "error";
my @lines = <LOG>;
close(LOG);
my $cnt = 0;
foreach my $line (@lines)
{
$cnt++;
$line =~ s/(\d+\s+)(.+)/$1
}
I think I need some help.
