Hello,
I know this question has been raised before, and I did try to Super Search for it, but none of the answers really right on the spot for me.
The problem is as follows:
I am writting a script that parses XML (and no, using XML::Parser or XML::simple is not the options as you need to compile them in order to use them -- otherwise it would be no problem). This XML has some tags that can go inside each other namely in this manner:
<value>...<value>...</value>...</value>
I need to get the stuff between the balanced
<value> pairs. Obviously, the
(.*?) approach does not work as it selects
<code><value>...<value>...</value>. I am suspecting that one might need to use extended regular expression for this (backtracking?), but could you lead me on the rigth track how? (Or is it a much more difficult problem that cannot be solved by only using regexps?)
Thank you in advance
