Re^2: Editing HTML files

Thanks Tanktalus. The problem with XHTML is the files are generated as HTML and get overwritten by another process. The problem with reg expressions is the tag values are unpredictable. I saw the same issue when glancing over the HTML:Manipulator docs. I was hoping I missed something or someone might have seen this tag format before. I'll give HTML::Parser a shot.

The problem with reg expressions is the tag values are unpredictable. Well, in that case a proper parser is a better approach.	[reply]

If the tag values are unpredictable, use metacharacters. Then again, depending on the html files your editing, it may not work `<(^.^-<) <(-^.^<) <(-^.^-)> (>^.^-)> (>-^.^)>`	[reply] [d/l]
