Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

sample file looks like this..

<hp>
<name>
<detail>adsg</detail>
...
...
</name><ft>4264</ft>
</hp>

I need to edit the last but one line using perl script. I want the format to be ..

<hp>
<name>
<detail>adsg</detail>
...
...
</name>
<ft>4264</ft>
</hp>

Thanks

sorry i did not get your question but, all i need is to split the last but one line into 2lines ..

</name><ft>4264</ft>

CONVERT TO

</name>
<ft>4264</ft>

Please let me know if i am not clear on this.

Thanks--
