Re: HTML tag extraction probs...

in reply to Global symbol probs...

The error means exactly what it says...you're using $i in scrapTag without declaring it. There are fixes for your existing code, but I'd probably rewrite the sub simply as a map - something like...
@htmlLines = map {s/your_regex//ig;$_;} @htmlLines

There's no need for a sub here at all - if you want to do many 'scrapTags', then by all means declare one, but you'll maybe want to pass in your '@htmlLines', rather than relying on a global.

As for the regex...that's fine so long as your img tags don't have any ">" characters (say, <img src='next_page' alt='>'> <img src='last_page' alt='>>'>, which is something I tend to do a fair amount) - check out the many HTML parsing modules that are mentioned here 10 or 20 times a day :)

Cheers, Ben.
