Re: Compare two file text input, compare it, replace and write new file

You are splitting your source.txt lines with a single whitespace:

my @words = split / /, $s;

For your code to work, source lines have to look like keys separated by single whitespaces.

Hmm.. it seems like split may not be the right tool, since it's hard to specify what to really split on. Try regex search and replace!

# match a backslash followed by two characters,
#   then compute the replacement by looking into %words
$s =~ s{(\\..)}{ $words{$1} || $1 }ge;

Have a look at perlrequick and perlretut. (And follow kcott's advice.)

the text is already formated, such as `\ha\hang\hu\hung` [download] can I using search replace if the format like in the code above ? because the codes sometime having same first or second characters such as `\ha` and `\hang` My code already work but if I manually add a space after the code `\ha\ca\ra\ka` to `\ha \ca \ra \ka`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
