how to deal with it?	Can't Post

I need to delete "option B" from $string1,like the result in $string2. How to do it by regular expression? Thanks.

$string1 = "<option value=A>AAA</option><option value=B>BBB</option><option value=C>CCC</option>";

$string2 = "<option value=A>AAA</option><option value=C>CCC</option>";

Code

$string1 = "<option value=A>AAA</option><option value=B>BBB</option><option value=C>CCC</option>";  
 
$string1 =~ s|<option value=B>BBB</option>||i;

The basic method :)

Let me explain more abou this problem:

$string1 = "<option value=A>AAA</option><option value=B>BBB</option><option value=C>CCC</option>";

$stirng1 is result obtained from a function. "AAA", "BBB", "CCC" are dynamically created by the function. Thus we don't know what are "AAA", "BBB", "CCC" before doing regualar expression. For example:

For the first time, we get: <option>...</option><option value=location1>new york</option><option value=location2>chicago</option><option value=location3>houston</option><option>...</option>

For the second time, we get: <option>...</option><option value=location1>boston</option><option value=location2>denver</option><option value=location3>houston</option><option>...</option>

how to always delete <option value=location2>XXX</option> from the string.
