the following is an as yet incomplete regex that i'm working on: $data = $_ =~ s/<(name)>(.*?)<(desc)>(.*?)<(copy)>(.*?)<(license)>(.*?)<(entry)>//xg
every other capture ($1 $3 $5 $7 $9) is going to be used one way, the other captures will be used differently... i'm wondering if there's a way to force the captures into particular numbered variable, so that $1 =$1 $2 = $3 $3 = $5 $4 = $7 $5 = $9 etc... or is it even worth it for easier coding later on? willy http://www.hackswell.com/corenth -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
