Home: Perl Programming Help: Intermediate: PLEASE HELP!!! - Problem Translating

QuestOFions Deleted May 15, 2000, 3:36 PM Post #1 of 2 (262 views) PLEASE HELP!!! - Problem Translating Can't Post I have a document with many <br> and I wanted to get rid of them so I used this: $r = -1; for ($e=0; $e <= $aa; $e++) { $r++; $catagorylines[$i+$r] =~ tr/<br>/ /; print "$catagorylines[$i+$r]"; } The only problem is that it got rid of all <, b, r, and >. What do I need to add to specify <br>?

You would do it like this: tr/(<br> )//i; the i at the end will ignore case (if you ned that), and the parentheses serve as a grouping operator. Look at Rule 6 of regular expressions in the Camel book by O'Reilly (p. 64). Hope this helps.
