in reply to Reg Ex Problem: Changing width dimension in HTML table

The curly brackets should only be around the numbers (i.e.  ${1}300${2}) but that is not your only problem as you will see when you make that change (hint: you don't want to capture the old table width).

    OK, after a bit more tinkering, this seems to work: 
    $rep_contact_info =~ s/(<\s*table.*?width\s*=\s*"*)\d*%*("*.*?)/${1}50
+0${2}/si;

    I'm sure it could be a lot prettier. Thanks for the bracket info.
