Regex help
I'm working on a news updater that should be out in about a month. So far it's going pretty good but yesterday I encountered something I need a little help with.
The user can use a template to update each post with.
It looks like this
<title><br>
<font size=1>Posted by <author> @ <date></font><br>
<story><br><br>
The problem is I want the user to be able to edit the news with ease AFTER they change the template. This is where the problem is.
I need to replace <title> <author> <date> and <story> with (.+?). I can do this, but I need those to be useable in regular expressions.
Is this possible?

That is where XML comes in. For news posting, XML is the supremo. Look into using it. I'm not too experienced with using it, but if you search CPAN, I'm sure you can find a good module for it, or maybe someone can suggest some other resources...

Why not just store the data in SQL?

Nevermind, I got it to work. For anyone that is curious it was the /q and /e switches
