`$_="I want to replace <P> in my string. I have to search for the <P> a +nd replace it with space. Thanks"; s/<P>/ /gi; print;` [download] results in: `I want to replace in my string. I have to search for the and repla +ce it with space. Thanks` [download] update: You might also want to try `perldoc perlre` which explains regular expressions fairly well.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
