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

    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.
