in thread Search and replace in html

LameNerd,
Try your code with: 
__DATA__
asdfasdf asdfasdf
asdfasdf<htMl    >asdfasdf
blah

</htmlasdf>
foo
bar
</html   >asdfasdf asdfasdf

I am not saying that Anonymous Monk should even be attempting to do this as a roll your own solution (go CPAN) - just thought I would point out a weakness or two.

asdfasdfasdfasdf
blah


foo
bar
asdfasdf asdfasdf

    What's wrong with that? It got rid of the html tags?
    I think that is all Anonymous Monk wanted to accomplish.
    That is also why I stated in my original post ...

    Do you want something like this?

      LameNerd,
      From the original post:
      $TheLine =~ s/<html>([^\n]*)<\/html>/$1/i;

      The anonymous monk appears to want was it between the HTML tags.
    • You have included what is before and after
    • You have not included a fake html tag

      It doesn't really matter - it just doesn't look like what the anonymous monk was after

      Cheers - L~R
