I have a passage of verses and they are numbered. I want each numbered verse in separate line so I add a new line before them but I have some parenthesis that also have numbers. They too are replaced by new lines. I don't want to match the numbers inside parenthesis. I used
$_=~s/(\d+)/\n$1 /gs;
with this input:
1Hello2Hai (in 2:3) 3hi 4 bye
but it replaces the numbers inside paranthesis also.
Required output :
1 Hello
2 Hai (in 2:3)
3 hi
4 bye
Actual output:
1 Hello
2 Hai (in
2:
3)
3 hi
4 bye
How do I construct the regex so that it doesn't match inside parenthesis. I use perl for the regex.
