Let me try this again... the code didn't show up properly!!!!

Hello brother monks... I have a series of lines throughout some generated output which come in the form of:


</a>
<!-- rem_me --></li>
<li>

[download]

I planned on replacing all instances of the middle line:

<!-- rem_me --></li>

[download]

with <ul>

One would think that in my situation this would be a simple case of: $html =~ s/<!-- rem_me --><\/li>/<ul>/sig;
But strangely this didn't work... A quick search with a hex editor shows nothing out of the ordinary... There are two 0A characters on either side of the line, which can only be attributed to the \n characters...

So what am I missing here?

Regards, Fib Jones
