Le Sat, Jan 05, 2002 at 08:51:19AM +0800, Leon a dit le suivant:
} 
} > If so, I suggest something like:
} >   $text =~ s/<RD>.*?<HR>//gs;
} 
} * means zero or more instances;
} ? means zero or one instances;
} + means one or more instances;
} 
} so what is the meaning of .*?

.. matches any type of input (character, numersl, space, etc.)
* means zero or more instances, as noted above
? in the above would make it stop matching at the first <HR> rather than the last - 
Perl tends to be "greedy", so adding the ? will keep it from matching more than you 
wanted it to.  It is optional but useful.
