I don't know of any module, but it would be easy to build one. The example below isn't great, but it gets the job done. I works with nested tags, but will have problems if you use [b] or [i] inside of [url]. If you need to add more, just add them to the %replace hash, where '<DATA>' is the data inside of the tag.
The sample text in the script: "[url]www.test.com[/url] [b][i]Hello[/i] World[/b]!" Has the following output: "<a href="http://www.test.com";>www.test.com</a> <b><i>Hello</i> World</b>!" Rob ### CODE BELOW ### my %replace = ( url => '<a href="http://<DATA>"><DATA></a>', b => '<b><DATA></b>', i => '<i><DATA></i>', ); my $text = '[url]www.test.com[/url] [b][i]Hello[/i] World[/b]!'; for (keys %replace) { $text =~ s|\[$_\](.*?)\[/$_\]|toHtml($replace{$_}, $1)|seg; } print $text; sub toHtml { my $map = shift; my $data = shift; $map =~ s/<DATA>/$data/sg; return $map; } -----Original Message----- From: Paul Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 4:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: vb or ubb Hi, Does anyone know if there is a Perl module that does ubb or vb style conversion? So it would take data as input and scan for [url]www.test.com[/url] and convert it to html?
