Re: capture pseudo-tags

Ignoring the ill-advised venture of parsing HTML with regular expressions, the following is a reduced version of your code that works better. You really only need to replace small <link> tags, not the entire text every time.

  $text =~ s/<link=("[^"]*")>(.*?)<\/link>/<a href=$1>$2/gi;

The reason your code isn't working is that the / characters aren't escaped as \/ or is that Perlmonks not faithfully reproducing your input?

Update: Code improved - thank you Eimi Metamorphoumai.

But that doesn't accurately replace the closing `</link>` tags with `</a>`.	[reply]

Oops - thanks for pointing that out. I was careless.	[reply]
