Great! That works. But I was looking to get a little trickier with it.
----------------
If you want to make sure they are alternating like <><><> etc... I would do
this:
$_ = $line;
@syms = m/[<>]/g;
$string = join("", @syms);
if ($strings !~ m/^<(><)*>$/)
{
## Scream here!
}
The regular expression:
m/^<(><)*>$/
will ensure that it starts with < and ends with > and anything in between
will be "><" which I think should do the trick. That logic is pretty hairy
though and I could be missing something.
