Re^2: Split tags and words nicely

Along the same lines, here's something that is completely regex and no join or split is needed. Probably could be obfuscated even more :)

$a = q{<tag ref=1>Start<tag ref=2>and more</tag>and end</tag>};
my @b;
$a =~ s/(<\/?tag[^>]*>)(\w*)/push @b, ($1,$2)/eg;
map {print $_,"\n"} @b;
[download]

Prints the following:

<tag ref=1>
Start
<tag ref=2>
and
</tag>
and
</tag>
[download]

Cheers!

You have a slight glitch in that you are losing any text after the space, e.g. "and more" comes out as "and". Fix: `$a =~ s/(<\/?tag[^>]>)([\w ])/push @b, ($1,$2)/eg;` [download] Also it is probably a good idea to avoid `$a` and `$b` for variable names because of their special status with regard to `sort`.

Doh! Nice catch. Good call with $a, $b. Cheers! s;;5776?12321=10609$d=9409:12100$xx;;s;(\d*);push @_,$1;eg;map{print chr(sqrt($_))."\n"} @_;	[reply]
