Dear Monks, Is there a nice clean way to do a replace after match, sort of like this nice clean but non-working code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my %fixers=( 'amazon.com' => 'danube.com', 'ibm.com' => 'bm.com', ); my $text = qq( Blah <a href="http://amazon.com/foo">one</a> <a href="http://ebay.com/foo">two</a> ); sub tweak_links($) { my $text_ref = shift; while( $$text_ref =~ m|"http://(.*?)["/]|g ) { if( $fixers{$1} ) { $1 = $main::fixers{$1}; } } } tweak_links(\$text);

I'm looking for something that's good when most of the matches never happen, but I can zero in on the right section with a match. In my case I even know which of the replacements is most likely on a particular text block (but all of them could happen in each block.

Is there a usual way this is done?

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
