Question

Guys, I’m far from a regex expert. Where should I start if I want to convert my file with text like This is a text to <span id="f001">This</span><span id="f002"> is</span><span id="f003"> a</span><span id="f004"> text</span>

Solution

 <span id="f001">This</span> <span id="f002">is</span> <span id="f003">a</span> <span id="f004">text</span>

Whoops, I missed a space:

 <span id="f001">This</span><span id="f002"> is</span><span id="f003"> a</span><span id="f004"> text</span>

Note: gsed is just GNU sed on OSX, if you brew install coreutils
