Hello Beginners, I was looking for a mailing list about REGEXP but I didn't find it. Maybe there is somebody here that can help me...
Suppose you have the following string $str = "... <b>John <i>Smith</i> (male)</b> and <b>Elisabeth <i>Jones</i> (female)</b> ..." and that you want to find out the container of the first B-tag, that is you want to get the string "John <i>Smith</i> (male)". Now, if I use the following regexp $str =~ m/<b>(.*)<\/b>/i; I get as result, i.e. $1: "John <i>Smith</i> (male)</b> and <b>Elisabeth <i>Jones</i> (female)" and not what I wanted!!
