Marvellous!

Thanks a lot!

It works!

But,oops, I found a few exceptions, like: A B 1234 a c d

I tried to fix this by simply extending your script:

$id =~ s/([a-z]) ([a-z]) ([a-z])/$1,$2,$3/;

But this doesn't work!

better

Oh yes, it does!

I just swaped both lines, so that the extended line preceeds your line. And voilą!
