Perl Gods, I need some help -- suppose I want to search a variable containing the contents of a HTML page, what would be the best way? For example, the HTML page has "NOTE: Something somethinng", but NOTE: is surrounded by a bunch of HTML gook. All I want is the stuff after "NOTE:" .. how would I do that?
<font face='Arial,Helvetica,Sans Serif' color='#000055' size='2'/><B>N
+ote:</B> </font><font face='Arial,Helvetica,Sans Serif' color=
+'#000055' size='2'/>By arrangement.</font>
And I want to extract "By arrangement." from the above .... how would I do that?
Thanks,
Helpless (and Stupid)
