Yes that would work, but I was really curious as to why the ternary operation does not
work. In fact, none of my other ternary operations seem to work. Is there something
wrong with my syntax?

Sorry, I am poor in English, but is this what you want ?
$title = $content;
while (<FH>)
{ chomp;
$title = $1 if ( /<title>(.+)<\/title>/i );
} print $title;
Rgds,
Connie

Subject: Ternary Regex Evaluation
Hello,
I am trying to do some pattern matching in a ternary evaluation, but it does
not seem to work. If I place the regex into a structured if statement, it
evaluates fine, but not in a ternary evaluation. Here is what I have so far.
my $title;
...
...
...
open FH, HTML_HOME . $directory . $content or die "Cannot open file : $!";
while (<FH>)
{
chomp;
(m/<title>(.*)<\/title>/i) ? $title = $1 : $title = $content;
}
print $title;
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA
