in thread matching POD footnote

An example which doesn't manipulate nested constructs in the input, then supposed to be processed by another parser.

Like extracting nested constructs from HTML ...¹

Telling a student to reinvent a complete POD-parser is hardly a good exercise.

Or did you show us an intelligent or at least working solution?

Update

¹) Or replacing simple constructs in POD.

    Sounds exactly like extracting information from pseudo-pod, the OPs dilemma

    It hardly sounds like this is the assignment

    Eh?

      nope, he's substituting.

      yep, that applies to most of your posts.

      You didn't read the OP and you never showed code ...enough said! :)

        Oh I see, substituting is nothing like matching and doesn't involve matching at all, good point

        I have to say, a very futile ad-hominem to deflect away from your judgmental/bullying commentary
