who can help me?

hi all, Why is it that my CPU usage goes up to 100% when I use 5 or more ".*?" in my regexp? Like this: (Checking one HTML file!!) if ($txt =~ m/.*?/is) { print "yeeha"; } I don't need workarounds, just why? Juiced > >my email: > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > >__

possible?

Hi all, why can't i find how you solve this one? i want to check if there's "name" in these two lines: I only want to have the second, but i want to $1 everything until ">" if ($a =~ m/(/is) maybe something like [^name] ? juiced
