Hi, Sometimes the large path is the shortest one. Go through the tutorial in Perl for regular expressions and you will solve your questions and you will learn a lot.
About regular expressions are two points of view. First one says that you must learn and use it. The other point of is: if you have a problem and you say I will solve it with regular expressions then you have two problems. Ánimos!
