Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Scan for anchor tags in Perl? Post 302805933 by sldsand on Saturday 11th of May 2013 06:03:18 PM

Thanks, my problem was bigger than that. I didn't know how to even scan the muck of information that was inside the .html file. But a day later, I thought why not try the unix "cat" command and boom, it gave me the muck of what I was after. Then I pawed through on how to do it in perl and then finally the stuff you're talking about.
I went with
Code:
($line =~ /.*<a.*http.*$/)

To get the external links, but I see your code has some value too, which I will be taking a look at. Thanks for your help!
