Linux awk Replace Multiple patterns within a list_file with One in target_file

I'm facing a problem

1) I got a list_file intended to be used for inlace replacement like this

Code:
  Replacement pattern ; Matching patterns

    EXTRACT ___________________
    toto ; tutu | tata | tonton  | titi 
    bobo ; bibi | baba | bubu | bebe 
    etc. 14000 lines !!!
    _____________________________



2) I got a target file in witch I want to replace thoses paterns

Code:
EXTRACT INPUT _______________
    hello my name is bob and I am a Titi and I like bubu
    _____________________________


I want it to become

Code:
EXTRACT OUTPUT ______________
    hello my name is bob and I am a toto and I like bobo
    _____________________________

Actually I am using awk to try to achieve this with this command :

Code:
   awk -F';' 'NR==FNR{A[$1]=$2; next} IGNORECASE = 1 {for(i in A) gsub(/A[i]/,i)}1' simplifier_FR.txt text.txt

Sadly awk doesn't seems to understand the pipe « | » character as a OR indicator ... I have also tried to achieve this with sed but this option goes very slowly aven if it works Smilie

does anyone have a better idea ?
Thanks
M

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangVar - standard codes for language variation identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangVar; $lvar = code2langvar('acm'); # $lvar gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic' $code = langvar2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm' @codes = all_langvar_codes(); @names = all_langvar_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangVar" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language variations, such as those as defined in the IANA language registry. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language registry codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language variations. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lvar = code2langvar('arevela','alpha'); $lvar = code2langvar('arevela',LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of alphanumeric codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'arevela' for Eastern Armenian. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA". This is the default code set. ROUTINES
code2langvar ( CODE [,CODESET] ) langvar2code ( NAME [,CODESET] ) langvar_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 ) all_langvar_codes ( [CODESET] ) all_langvar_names ( [CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar ( CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_alias ( NAME ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] ) Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] ) These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
