Hello, I am using the Text::Format module. It works well but I cannot get any mileage out of one feature. I'll append the section from the pod file here: The module will take text input from whererever and format it in various ways designed to suit any conceivable need. This option is in this case is to prevent breaking of a line of text at a sensitive point. In my case i dont want to break "isbn 123456789" leaving "isbn" at the end of the line and "123456789" at the start of the next. ------------------------------ noBreakRegex \%HASH || NOTHING Pass in a reference to your hash that would hold the regexes on which not to break. Without any arguments, it returns the hash. eg. {'^Mrs?\.$' => '^\S+$','^\S+$' => '^(?:S|J)r\.$'} don't break names such as Mr. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Jones Jr. ------------------------- this isn't really a regex query, but just to note that the above seems a little weird with "Mrs" sandwiched between both start of line and finish of line anchoris. Still I can make my regex to suit if that is what is needed. So I have the following to get my regex into a hash: my %regx = ('^isbn$'=>'^[0-9]{9,13}X?$'); # my regex $text->noBreakRegex(\%regx); # this sets the option Well we compile, but I have isbn breaks all over. All reasonable and many unreasonable changes have no effect except to break the script. Any ideas welcome, please. Anne PS. I am using the Padre IDE now. _______________________________________________ Za-pm mailing list Za-pm@pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/za-pm posts also archived on Mail Archive http://www.mail-archive.com/za-pm@pm.org/
