Yes, you can use a regex to get the words from file1 that you're going to search for and insert into file2. There are many different ways it could be written, but here's one example: my $str = q\|{RP}makaravilYakkin Sabarimala ayyappanu cArZwwAnulYlYa wi +ruviwAMkUrZ rAjAvAyirunna SrI ciwwirawirunnAlYZ bAlarAmavarZmma natak +k vacca 420 kilogrAM wUkkamulYlYa wafkayafki{/RP}{MCL} sUkRikkunnaw +I kRewrawwilAN.{/MCL}\|; while ($str =~ m[ {(\w+)} # a word within {}, capture it \W* # maybe non-word chars (\w+) # first word after tag, capture it [^{]+ # anything but a {, up to... \W # a non-word character (\w+) # last word before tag, capture it \W* # maybe non-word chars {/\1} # ending tag matching captured one above ]xg){ print "$1 $2 $3\n"; # print captured values } [download] Aaron B.

Use XML::Parser to get the hashes as mentioned above for RP and MCL tags from f1 file. Then start with f2 file and update the lines by comparing them or checking them in hashes. I believe you need to add end_clause where you find the value of any hash once read again - for this thing keep adding the read keys in some separate data structure so that you can keep a record of read names and add end_clause	[reply]
