my $title;
open (FH, HTML_HOME . $directory . $content) or die "Cannot open file : $!";
while (<FH>){
chomp;
$title=m/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i?$1:$content;
}
print $title;
But, I don't see how this will work to well if this file has more than one line
(unless the title tag is on the last line of the file...) You are iterating over
every line, and constantly replacing $title with each pass...
Maybe add this below the $title=m/...:
last if($title ne $content);

Subject: Ternary Regex Evaluation
Hello,
I am trying to do some pattern matching in a ternary evaluation, but it does not seem
to work. If I place the regex into a structured if statement, it evaluates fine, but
not in a ternary evaluation. Here is what I have so far.
my $title;
...
...
...
open FH, HTML_HOME . $directory . $content or die "Cannot open file : $!";
while (<FH>)
{
chomp;
(m/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i) ? $title = $1 : $title = $content;
}
print $title;
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
