Re^2: Substitution inside tags, as 1 line

That's a nice looking alternative, NetWallah. Not what I had in mind, but it has a certain elegence & simplicity.

Would you then suggest I put the output of that through a subsitution that removes the two "</?pre>\n</p>" matches, to finish off my requirements? How would you do it?

Thanks.

Slightly uglier, getting rid of the extra </p> around the <PRE>, but still readable: `perl -pe 'm\|<pre>\|..m\|</pre>\| and {m\|</?pre>\| or $_=qq\|<p>$_</p>\|} ' < + Your-file` [download] Also removed the unnecessary empty para (per mortiz, and kept it XHTML-compatible !

Thanks again NetWallah. Here are some more alternatives, based on yours, which generate the output I was after, including removal of the `<pre>` tags. I guess your code is more correct via web standards, though. `perl -ne 'm\|<pre>\|..m\|</pre>\| and s/\n/<p>\n/;m\|</?pre>\| or print' htm +lfile perl -ne 'chomp;m\|<pre>\|..m\|</pre>\| and $_.="<p>";s\|</?pre><p>\|\| or pr +int "$_\n"' htmlfile` [download] Thanks for your ideas.
