Hi, Please excuse this newbie question, but I am getting confused :(
I need at have a small script that will extract selected words from a phrase and then insert them into a new string. I have an html page that I need to extract both urls & keywords from and put them into a new file. Should be fairly simple stuff - but it is beating me!! A typical example is <font class="fontclassz"><a href="http://domain.name";>text</a></font> The output needs to be as <a href="http://domain.name"; target="_blank" value="text"> The first part and the last bit appear to be working (just), but it is the middle that I am stuck on. What I have put together so far is.... #!/usr/bin/perl while ($line=<>) { if ($line =~ m|<font class="fontclassz">(.*?)</font>|) { $headline = $line; $url = $line; $line = $1; $headline =~ s|<[^>]*>||g; $url =~ s|<[^>]*>||g; $line = <<END; <a href="$url" target="_blank" value="$headline"> END print "$line\n"; } } I realise that both $headline and $url are the same at the moment, but having tried various alternatives, I am just getting more and more confused. Any assistance would be gratefully received. Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
