in reply to web::scraper and regex

Hi wiseguys, can I (better: how can I) use regex with web::scraper?

What do the docs say?

The "contains"-part is wrong... What would work is: But that would only give me a single "ereignis" and not all.

What? What is your input?

    Ok so given input of matching on an attribute that contains a substring, seems to work :) 

    $ cat 2
<body>
  <div data-content="/ajax/ereignis/4" data-type="link">
4</div>
  <div data-content="/ajax/ereignis/185" data-type="link">
185</div>
  <div data-content="wowee" data-type="link">
wowee</div>
</body>

$ xmllint.exe --xpath " //div[ contains( @data-content, '/ereignis' ) 
+]  "  2
<div data-content="/ajax/ereignis/4" data-type="link">

4</div><div data-content="/ajax/ereignis/185" data-type="link">

185</div>

$ xmllint.exe --xpath " //div[ @data-content ]  "  2
<div data-content="/ajax/ereignis/4" data-type="link">

4</div><div data-content="/ajax/ereignis/185" data-type="link">

185</div><div data-content="wowee" data-type="link">

wowee</div>
