Hello Monks,

I want to tag separte authors from the following author list. Authos may come in any order in input(surname, givenname).

I have updated the input and output

Input:

<surname>Coff</surname>, <givenname>D.,</givenname>, <surname>Coff</surname>, <givenname>D.,</givenname>

<givenname>D.,</givenname>, <surname>Coff</surname>, <givenname>D.,</givenname>, <surname>Coff</surname>

Output:

<au><surname>Coff</surname>, <givenname>D.,</givenname></au>, <au><surname>Coff</surname>, <givenname>D.,</givenname></au>

<au><givenname>D.,</givenname>, <surname>Coff</surname></au>, <au><givenname>D.,</givenname>, <surname>Coff</surname></au>

I tried like below. But I got wrong once givenname comes first.

undef $/;
$content = <DATA>;
$content =~s#([^<]*)(<(?:sur|given)name>.*</(?:sur|given)name>)#$1."<a
+uthorfield>".&indivauth($2)."</authorfield>"#egi;

sub indivauth
{
    $au{sur} = 'given';
    $au{given} = 'sur';
    ($inline) = @_;
    $inline =~s#(<surname>(?:(?!<sur|</au>).)*?</givenname>)#<au>$1</a
+u>#gsi;
    return "$inline";
}
open (FOUT, "> out.txt");
print FOUT $content;

Can you help me
