I want to replace a token in a text file with a number. The token is "<count>
" and I want it to be replaced with the number of counts so far. For example:
This <count> is a <count> count.
The <count> count increases <count><count><count>.
<count><count><count><count><count><count>
becomes:
This 1 is a 2 count.
The 3 count increases 456.

I'm not really sure how to do this, maybe with some loop?
my $text = (the input from file, already taken care of in my script);
my $count = 1;
while( regex not found? )
{
$text =~ s/<count>/($count);
$count ++;
}
