i'll throw this in the 'alternative' pile, since i'm not sure it qualifies as 'easier'.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
{
local $/ = undef; # slurp.
$_ = <>;
}
$nb = qr/[^\}]*/; # non-close-bracket
$nq = qr/[^\"]*/; # non-quote
while( m/^Tag+ \s+ \{
$nb
\n\s+ Name \s+ \" ($nq \s $nq) \"
$nb
\}
/msx ) {
substr( $_, $-[1], $+[1]-$-[1] ) =~ s/ /_/g;
}
print;
i hadn't heard of the substr() lval return trick until this thread; it's pretty useful. also hadn't heard of @- or @+ till digging around. felt i'd share.
re: earlier comment -- the $N vars are immutable, so you can't s/// them, sadly.
