Re^2: Match text from txt to html

[corfuitl]

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

To be honest, I have no idea... I know Perl but I don't know where to start.

What I did, was to read the TXT and store it in an array, then I read line by line the HTML and match the sentences without tags.

Great! And is the code working correctly? (Quietly loads the confetti cannon.)

[corfuitl]

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.

Thanks! I am opening the html this way as I don't know the nodes of the files. the created automatically, so this is why I am reading them as text.
