( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I must say that this syntax confuses me. I am already using a lookahead to define the forward edge of the match (versus where the next match will start in the global substitution), and everything up to but not including that lookahead needs to be captured. I've never thought one could capture from a lookahead...but perhaps I'd misunderstood. I'm also using backslash lookaround assertions, because some of what is matched will be matched again (these are the false positives) and for an unpredictable number of times (fewer than 20).

I tried putting rsFalse's suggestion to use but was unable to get the match to succeed. I don't think I understand it well enough.

Blessings,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
