in thread regec to select text ather than remove HTML tags
The code seemed to work for me.
Using pm_txt.txt for input for pm_regex.pl pm_txt.txt
1.hello> 2.<hello 3.hello <hello>
pm_regex.pl
use strict; use warnings; my $filename = shift or die "Usage $0 FILENAME\n"; open my $fh, '<', $filename or die "Could not open '$filename'\n"; while (my $line = <$fh>) { chomp $line; if ($line =~ /^\d+\..*?(hello).*$/) { print "In $line $1 matches\n"; } else { print "$line doesn't match\n"; } }
Running perl pm_regex.pl pm_text.txt produced the output:
In 1.hello> hello matches
In 2.<hello hello matches
In 3.hello hello matches
<hello> doesn't match
