Shell Programming and Scripting

I liked this thread a lot, BTW. I thought some of the code presented was excellent.

All I was trying to say is that I have worked on some complex regex for the forums (for example parsing the man pages and adding links in the manpage section of these forums), and I could not have easily done it without Regex Buddy. I am not ashamed for being lazy and to not write complex regex off the top-of-my head. My biggest issue with Regex Buddy (I purchased a copy, it was so good), is that I am currently mostly running OSX and Android systems, so I don't keep it handy or use it like I used to. I wish there was an OSX version. Even better, I wish there was a version for Android that I could run on my new tablet (when I buy it, LOL), but the developer of Regex Buddy is a hard-core Windows person (He told me UNIX/Linux people don't like to use regex tools... funny, maybe he is right and I'm the only lazy one!)

I really liked all the posts in this thread. Thank you. I'm been busy with DB replication, vBulletin plugins, cleaning up old PHP code. This thread was interesting.

Code:

local $/="a>";
while(<DATA>){
  s/\n//g;
  print $1,"\n" if /href="([^"]*)"/;
}
__DATA__
<a href="http://awebsite"  id="awebsite" class="first">website</a><a href="http://bwebsite"  id="bwebsite" class="first">websiteb</a>
<a href="http:
//awebsite"  id="awebsite" class="first">website</a><a href="
