Everybody else's solutions arew fine. However, this is the perl list
and there's more than one way...
I think the following might be clearer:
perl -pe 's/(?=(?:C|D|I|II);)/ /' infile > outfile
It demonstrates some of the more powerful regexp features which only
perl seems to have. The regexp assertions (?=) are quite powerful.
In this example, they allow me to list the different part # suffixes
easily so a non-perl programmer could easily modify this program, I
think.
