in reply to Re: Converting HTML tags into uppercase using Perl
in thread Converting HTML tags into uppercase using Perl

This script of course breaks for the case of an embedded ">" sign in the value, and it uppercases all values too, both of which will break the HTML file:

<html>
<img src="a_greater_b.gif" alt="a > b" />
<img src="a_smaller_b.gif" alt="a < b"/>
</html>

These niggles are the reason why it is always recommended to avoid parsing HTML with regular expressions.

Update: Rearranged HTML to be a test case for the second problem as well.
