Re: Extended Regular Expressions

If what you want is to the right of the first > can't you just print $' or the English $POSTMATCH after the first print statement?

E.g.,

print $& if /^<a href.*>[^\z])/;
print $';

Update: Sorry, overlooked that somehow.

If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. -- Norm Schryer

`print $& if /^<a href.*>[^\z]/; print $';` [download] This does not work - as jroberts already pointed out - because the first letter after the closing angle bracket is eaten as well. So it's not printed with $POSTMATCH. Furthermore the regex contained an additional closing parenthesis - this was already in the original post and just a copy and paste error. I fixed that above. -- Hofmator	[reply] [d/l]
