Drupal 7 - Programmatically tagging nodes

I am trying to populate the content of a Drupal 7 site programatically by reading from a CSV file. I have all the code for that, but the next step is to automatically tag each node with a series of terms found in 3 different columns.

Now I know that I can tag the node using the term id, but is there a way to tag using the term name?

I'm looking at something like this where $tags is an array of strings that are supposed to be tag terms.

$a = 0;
foreach ($tags as $tag) {
  $node->field_tags[$node->language][]['a'] = $tag;
  $a++;
}

I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

Instead of finding the term ids yourself, you can use taxonomy_get_term_by_name function.

This function returns the list of matching term objects.
