Re: HTML::Parser / Regex

... I still could't quite pick up how this string-matching works.

If you haven't already seen them, please take a look at perlrequick, perlretut (and, of course, at perlre for the hard core stuff), and at Pattern Matching, Regular Expressions, and Parsing in the monastery's own Tutorials.

Update: Oh, and please let us know the version of Perl you're working with so we can know the regex features available to you!

Give a man a fish: <%-{-{-{-<

Hi AnomalousMonk, Thank you for all those links. I think I have overlooked most of the links. I'm going to have a look on it. Also I am using perl v5.8.8. It was pretty old but yea..	[reply]

... using perl v5.8.8. ... pretty old ... Not to worry. The example code I posted here runs under 5.8.9. It's intentionally ambitious; I hope you will come back to it repeatedly as you read more about Perl, regexes, etc. Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l]
