Regular expression generator/creator

2004-08-27 Thread Mark Maunder
Hi, I've google'd and CPAN'd and no luck. Is there a tool out there that will generate a regular expression based on a series of string inputs that are similar but have parts that differ. Ideally I'd like to be able to create an regex generator object into which I can feed strings. Then call a

G'day. $string =~ s/(.{4})(?=.)/$1 /g; FYI, the ?= at the end is a zero-width look ahead assertion that stops a space from being inserted after the last 4 chars. Please see 'perldoc perlre' for details. Mark. On Fri, 2004-08-27 at 05:51, JP wrote: I am trying to split up a given string of

Hi, I'm matching html using regex and use something like this to grab a chunk of text up to the next html tag: font([^]+)/font But I'd like to say match everything that does not include the string br rather than match everything that does not include a character. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks Jeff, that helps. I use HTML::Parser for various tasks, but for this particular one, I need exact matching, hence the regex. On Mon, 2004-01-26 at 09:57, Jeff 'japhy' Pinyan wrote: On Jan 26, Mark Maunder said: I'm matching html using regex and use something like this to grab a chunk

What are you trying to match? If it's just the dir name then: /\/(tmp_\w)/ will do it and set $1 to equal your directory name. ~mark. http://www.workzoo.com/ Zysman, Roiy wrote: Hi All, As we all know Regular Expressions are very greedy and tries to big as big as possible. How do i limit

You have two dollar signs before the 'name' variable in the loop. That probably works provided the value of the variable is not a number, but it may be causing the strangeness you're experiencing. Always 'use strict' in your scripts. You should be storing your params in a hash and doing

Why does %hdata = undef; not work as expected

2001-08-22 Thread Mark Maunder
This is probably an oldie, but assigning an undef to a hash creates a hash with a single element (which I'm guessing is undef). Isn't this counter intuitive. I would have expected the hash to be empty if the undef that is assigned is in scalar context. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL
