Hi Bertram,
Well, after about 45 minutes of mousing cut/paste/edit, plus
editing scripts, i ain't there yet. if i use the
perl -e 'print unless "/m/http:/" || eof; close ARGV if eof' *.htm
no errors, but the new.htm is == new.htm.bak; in other words,
it looks like a partial match on just "http" fails. Don't
know why. i'm pretty sure the entire "<A HREF="http://foobar.com";> xxx
</A>"
would do it.
roland, the dbl quote were necessary it seems. maybe i'll
try parens.
