Hi,

I'm really at a dead end with this :(

Here is an example variable ($test_string); 

my $test_string = q|
     [lien "http://www.domain.com"][img]http://www.domain.com/image.gi
+f[/img][/lien]
Si qqn connait un transporteur ou une agence qui fais des bon prix 
[lien "http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001"][img]http://smi
+leys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_220.gif[/img][/lien]
 pour l'australie je suis preneur merci............... 
 BONNE ANNÉE

Now, what I need to do, is get rid of the lien .. /lien around that code. I've been trying for ages to simply get code that will work .. this:

while ($test_string =~ m%\[img\]([0-9a-zA-Z\"\?\%\:\/\_\-\.\=]+)\[/img\]%gix) {

..works fine (and grabs the image URL's fine).

However, when doing something like:

while ($test_string =~ m%\[lien "([0-9a-zA-Z\"\?\%\:\/\_\-\.\=]+)"\]\[img\]([0-9a-zA-Z\"\?\%\:\/\_\-\.\=]+)\[/img\]%gix) {

..it simply refuses to match at all.

Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong, or better yet - a simpler way to get rid of the lien stuff from around [img tags?

TIA!

Andy
