Hi yall!!! I have a (hopefully) easy question. I am trying to search for a HTML tag explicitly. It's not working, and I think its because Perl is treating the enclosed <...> as a File Handle. Here is the string I am looking for: <select name=\"fromlist\".*?</select> An entire HTML document was read in and stored into a scalar value named $buff. Please help me. ========================================== Real Programmers use Perl Mike Eggleston nghtstr@michaelsmacshack.com ========================================== # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
