Re: Substituting with match containing newline and space characters

You aren't trying to parse HTML with regular expressions, are you?

Use a proper HTML handling module. For example, XML::XSH2, a wrapper around XML::LibXML:

open :F html file.html ;
for //input[@type="checkbox"] {
    $attr = @*[xsh:matches(.,'\[0\]$')] ;
    $name = xsh:match($attr, '.*\.(.*)\[0\]$') ;
    if $name set @label $name ;
}
save :F html :b ;

Unfortunately, yes...I just wanted to be quick and dirty and all I've achieved so far is dirty. Thanks for the example...may have to turn this ship around.
