Re^2: Substitution remove all before (Parse HTML/XML with Regex References)

Attempting to parse or manipulate HTML (or XML or similar) with a regular expression is nearly always a bad idea. I'm actually working at the moment and don't have time to pull out references; however, I'm sure others will do so.

Surprised I don't have a list of references on this topic. Here's a start:

I think this external link is also worth mentioning. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
