my $header = "Joe Doe<br><br>The book I wrote yesterday"; my $title; if ($header =~ /(^\S.+)(<br><br>)(\S.+$)/m) { $title = "$1: $3";} print "$title\n";
Is there a shorter, simpler, more efficient way to do this? I still need $header later on as it is. I quite often have to copy the value of a variable and then run a regexp substitution on it; I was wondering whether there's a better approach than this one.
