put chosen words into file
id like a script that loads up a text file "myfile.txt" and places a checkbox after each word. When a checkbox is selected that number word and word are placed into a file
ie
if "myfile.txt" contains
here is my story. thanks for reading.
when i execute my script i will see
here [] is [] my [] story []. thanks [] for [] reading [].
there will be a submit and reset button at the end and if for example i click the check boxes after "here" "thanks" and "reading" and file called "gaps.txt" will then contain
1 - here
5 - thanks
7 - reading

ok thats great
one kinda related questionso i put the points up
in different code the story file is loaded up again and drop down menus are placed in....but it prints the story without periods "." and "?" "!" etc
i think the problem is here
while(<F>)
{
while(/(\w+)/g)
{
etc.......
should i change the second while loop so it will load up "!" "." "?" etc.....
thanks

The \w+ means that only the words are taken. What is meant by \w you can take a look at Perl manual. As i remember it's lowercase and uppercase letters, the undescore.
Do the following:
while(<F>)
{
while(/([\w!.?]+)/g)
{
etc.......
