Re: Re: Re: Removing selective tags and content between

As far as I know, the lack of a body tag should not keep the browser from renedering the page. Most browsers are pretty forgiving when it comes that kind of stuff. A combination of the lines I showed above could be done as:

$test =~ s/<head>.+<\/head>|<html>|<\/html>|<body.*?>|<\/body>//sgi;

I can't see why this would have cleared the entire string but then again, I haven't seen the entire string you are trying to parse. Perhaps you could post a little more...

Chris...when you replied to my last post, I noticed that your statement had changed from <body.+> to <body.?> When I used <body.?> it made all the difference and everything worked fine :)) Thanks so much for the help!	[reply]

Thanks for all the help Chris. When you replied I noticed that you said <body.> when you had originally told me to use <body.+>....I put in <body.> and everything worked fine. Thank you again.	[reply]
