replacing

[Laszlo]

Hi Perl gurus

I have a lot of jsp files where I have to replace all old tags with new tags.
Example:

the old tag: "<jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=iso-8859-2"/>"
the new tag: "<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=iso-8859-2" %>"

My question is:

How should I write that regular expression which will do the job ?

Thank you.

s/<jsp:directive\.(.*)\/>/<%@ $1 %>/gi;

(Won't need the final 'i' if all your "jsp:..." are lower case.)

HTH,
