in thread Match text from txt to html

this is my code as of now.

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; my $html = shift; my $htmlvar; open(my $fh, '<', $html) or die "cannot open file $html"; { chomp; local $/; $htmlvar = <$fh>; } close($fh); my $line = 1; while (<STDIN>){ chomp; if ($htmlvar =~ /$_/ && $htmlvar !~ /<sentence id\"[0-9]*\">$_<\/ +sentence>/){ $htmlvar =~ s/($_)/<sentence id\"$line\">$1<\/sentence>/; $line++ } } print "$htmlvar\n";

    When open fails, get it to tell you why:

    open(my $fh, '<', $html) or die "cannot open file $html: $!";

    Trying to parse HTML like this is more often than not a waste of time.
