c

Except the real deal will be across 1460 lines.  Am I pushing the
limits?

There are other ways of doing what I want.


Many thanks,

Hi Yary,

I will.

This is what I am after:

            <div class="form-group  version_row">
                <label for="" class="col-lg-4 
control-label">Version:<span class="require">*</span></label>

                <div class="col-lg-8">
                    <select name="version" class="form-control">
                        <option value="9.2.0.9297" 
>9.2.0.9297</option><option value="8.3.6.35572" >8.3.6.35572</option>
                    </select>
                </div>
            </div>


$WebPage ~~ s/ . * '<div class="form-group  version_row">'//;
$WebPage ~~ s/ '</div>' .* //;


Then

( $NewRev  = $Webpage ) ~~ s/ .*? '<option value="'//;
$NewRev ~~ s/ '"' .* //;

I may have to fuss with the escapes.

I do so adore Perl!
