Hi,

I would like to implement a text tagging system. What is the best way to do this?

For example;

The text is:

Lorem ipsum {{tag1}} sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum bibendum mi in ipsum {{tag2}} id sagittis dolor ultrices. Maecenas vitae nunc diam, quis gravida augue. Integer...

and, I have 2 text files, tag1.txt tag2.txt

What I want to do is to fetch one line for each tag when I execute the code. The text files will be looped when it reaches the end of the file.

tag1.txt
tag1example1
tag1example2

tag2.txt
tag2example1
tag2example2
tag2example3

the text will be:

Lorem ipsum tag1example1 sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum bibendum mi in ipsum tag2example1 id sagittis dolor ultrices. Maecenas vitae nunc diam, quis gravida augue. Integer...

Lorem ipsum tag1example2 sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum bibendum mi in ipsum tag2example2 id sagittis dolor ultrices. Maecenas vitae nunc diam, quis gravida augue. Integer...

Lorem ipsum tag1example1 sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum bibendum mi in ipsum tag2example3 id sagittis dolor ultrices. Maecenas vitae nunc diam, quis gravida augue. Integer...

and so on..

I need to use regular expressions, but what is the best/efficient way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
