<p> it <i>could</i> do something different, though, if you stick more closely to what the original code was: </p>
<c>
if (/</) {
s/^<\s//; # remove "< " at beginning of line
# ...do something with lines that do/did contain a '<' anywhere
}
</c>
<p> (not sure whether that is what the OP intended, though...) </p>
