Re^2: Regular Expressions

See what i just posted below.. that won't work if the string is something like (and presumably it is, otherwise it would just be $string .= $newContent;):

my $string =<<EOS;
  <body leftmargin=0
    bgcolor="red" >
   blah and stuff
  </body>
EOS

Yes, I understand the limitations. Will be more careful in the future. Apologies to the OP, and thanks to the monks...	[reply]

OT: excellent regex point, but OP's html fu could stand some help: leftmargin is/was IE specific (some other browsers honor it; some don't) and arguement '0' should be double quoted. And re specific example, space between "red" and > is also naughty... (but I can see how the string could -- real world -- include '\n's, I'm skeptical that spreading it out over multiple lines enhances readability. <UPDATE ++ davidrw, below, re use of JS or TT! Again proving adage that one should put brain in gear before opening mouth. Thanks!	[reply]

good points.. I almost commented on the double quotes, too.. and y, css can handle the margin stuff.. As for \n's inside the `<body ... >` opening tag, here's a couple trivial examples that illustrate the types of cases that i've done that for readability (basically for javascript, and for Template Toolkit stuff): `<body bgcolor="red" foo="bar" onLoad=" if( x = do_something() ) { do_other_js() ; } else { blah( +); }" > # TT syntax: <body bgcolor="red" foo="bar" [% IF use_js %] onLoad=" ... " [% END %] >` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
