Hi all, I have imported the contents of two text files into two arrarys. Array 1 @file contains the following: 

<tag>line one
line two
line three
<tag>line four

[download]

Array 2 @cmds contains the following:
\replace<tab>tag<tab>element<br>\replace<tab>it<tab>italic
I want to open the first array go through line by line and replace based on the conditions given on array 2. The output I desire should look like: 
<element>line one
line two
line three
<element>line four

I tried using the following code: 
foreach(@file)
{
    for my $x (0..$#replace)
    {
        if($replace[$x] =~ /\\replace\t(.+?)\t(.+?)\n/g)
        {
            $_ =~ s/$1/$2/g;
        }
    print $_;
    }
}

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?
