Home: Perl Programming Help: Regular Expressions: Make-Your-Own-Tags?

tallest1 Deleted May 7, 2000, 8:49 AM Post #1 of 4 (2032 views) Make-Your-Own-Tags? Can't Post I know this is 100% possible but I haven't been able to pull it off. Lets say I have a text file that had the following text: " {variable name="name"}Jesse{/variable} {variable name="age"}?{/variable}" Using regexes how would I have a script read that and create the variables? $variable{'name'} = Jesse $varisble{'age'} = ? would the regex go like this?: open (MYFILE, "$file.txt"); $line = join( '', <MYFILE> ); close (MYFILE); while ($line = m/{variable name="([^"]*)"}([^{]*){\/variable}/g) { $variable{$1} = $2; } Thanks in advance

By the way, take a look at my article in the learning center, for reading files to a variable at one step.. [This message has been edited by turkscripts (edited 05-07-2000).]

[In reply to] Can't Post I wouldn't write this sort of thing from scratch: there are many modules that allow you to create your own tags and which provide means of extracting their values and processing them. If you go to search.cpan.org (note no leading www.) and search for 'template' you will find a list of such modules, I'd look in particular at Text::Template and HTML::Template If you search for 'macro' you'll find two other modules that do macro processing which will also do the same sort of job.
