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!!

Thanks & Cheers,
Michele
