HTML::TokeParser::Simple : is't suitable for me ??

[jussi]

Hi gurus


I need to modify HTML page by finding and replaicing some strings. Here
is few exsamples what I need to do (inside FORM tags):

!!more html code in the same line !! <a
href="javascript:CreateList(TopForm)"><img
src="images/playselected.gif" bgcolor="#949494" align="right/"
border="0"></a> !!more html code in the same line !!

This should replace with this one:
&nbsp;

And more I need to find and replace:

<a
href="javascriptopUpPlayFile('./PlayFile.asp?E:\\video\\506-TEST-VIDEO.mpg@$$@506-SRI%TEST_VIDEO',1)">

should be like this:

<a href="file://server/mpegs/506-TEST-VIDEO.mpg>

I have tryit regular expressions to manage with this, but its very
hard.

Any help would be nice.

Yes it is, which is why the FAQ says not to do it that way:

perldoc -q html

The first question deals primarily with removing all the markup and leaving
just plain text, but the point it makes about using regexes vs. using a
parser module is just as valid for what you're doing.

What problem would that be? I'm not psychic, and you didn't bother to quote
any of the relevant conversation, so I have no idea.

I have read the doc, but couldn't get it work.

"It doesn't work" is about the most vague, useless problem description you
could possibly give. What code did you try? What were you expecting it to
do, and what did it do instead?

Have you read the posting guidelines for this group yet?
