Sometimes it's best to create a table and lookup the formatting as you iterate through the file.
#!/bin/perl5 use strict; use warnings; my $tag = { K => { open => '%', close => '', block => 1, block_open => '<p>', block_close => '</p>' }, R => { open => '<li>', close => '</li>', block => 0 }, T => { open => '<td>', close => '</td>', block => 0 } }; my $block_flag = 0; my $line_out = ''; my $output = ''; while (my $line_in = <DATA>) { chomp($line_in); my ( $style, $content ) = $line_in =~ /^(\w)\s+(.*)$/; $line_out = join( '', $tag->{ $style }->{ open }, $content, $tag->{ $style }->{ close } ); if ( $tag->{ $style }->{ block } and ! $block_flag ){ $output = join( '', $output, "\n", $tag->{ $style }->{ block_open }, $line_out ); $block_flag = $style; } elsif ( ! $tag->{ $style }->{ block } and $block_flag ){ $output = join( '', $output, $tag->{ $block_flag }->{ block_close }, "\n", $line_out, "\n" ); $block_flag = ''; } else{ $output = join( '', $output, $line_out ); } $line_out = ''; } open OUT, ">", "output.txt" or die; print OUT $output; close OUT; __DATA__ R Whatever K Perl K Monks K Is K Cool T Another style R Whatever
Produces...
<li>Whatever</li> <p>%Perl%Monks%Is%Cool</p> <td>Another style</td> <li>Whatever</li>
A bit extreme, not elegant. But flexible and easily changed if formats change or are added.
Hope this helps

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.
