The textfile contains text like this

[Event "?"]
[Result "*"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "4b3/pq2p1k1/1p1pP2R/1P1P2K1/2rp4/8/P5Q1/8 w - - 0 50"]
[PlyCount "0"]
*

[Event "?"]
[Round "39"]
[Result "*"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "5rk1/5p1p/3q2p1/1Rp1n3/P3P3/3Pb1pP/2Q3B1/3R3K b - - 0 1"]

I want to change [Event "?"] to [Event "Black to move"] if in the line [FEN .... ] I find a space, then b followed by another space

and to change it to [Event "White to move"] if in the line [FEN .... ] I find a space, then w followed by another space

I have tried to use lookahead, but as have not programmed anything in Perl for quite a while with no success.

Sorry for beeing unclear

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

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).

Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
