Hi,
I open a html file and find 2 strings in it :
"font-size: 10pt" and "font-family: 'Arial'".
I want to find all words in the file with matches the above 2 strings and replace them with
"font-size: 18pt" and "font-family: 'Helvetica'".
A few sample code of file is given below
body { text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0in; text-align: left; lang: en-US; font-weight: normal; font-variant: normal; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; widows: 2; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; }
<p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: +bold; lang: en-US; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Arial'">Consultancy +</span></p> The code which I wrote for this is :<br> open(html,'test.htm'); while(<html>) { s/[0-9]+pt/18pt/g; }
But this doesn't work surprisingly
Can you point out what's wrong in it
Thankyou !
