Simple substitution Can't Post
Why doesn't this work? I am simply trying to replace anything that looks like an e-mail address with HTML link.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>


# $staff =~ s/(.+@.+\..+)/<a href="mailto:$1">$1<\/a>/gi;
</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks,
Steve

This soes the trick

$staff =~ s/( \S+\@\S+\.\S+ +)/ <a href="mailto:$1">$1<\/a> /gi;

(Perhaps you could drop the \. )

the . matches any single character except the newline, so you got to use S, which is a non white-space character.

Don't you just love regular expressions?

Actually this is better, and to prove my point copy the $staff html in a file (test.html), look at it, run this code with a redirect to this file (perl script.pl > test.html) and hit the reload.

#!perl.exe
use strict;
my($staff);
$staff = "<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled.html</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGcolor=#e5e5e5>
<PRE>
Yo everybody,
This could me a valid e-mail to Peter\@myself!
Peter.Van_Hoecke\@ecom.be is mijn e-mail
</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>";
print "$staff\n\n";
$staff =~ s/(\S+\@\S+\w)/<a href="mailto:$1">$1<\/a>/gi;
print $staff;
