I am new to Perl and mongering in general. I joined this list to learn more

Subject: [Memphis.pm] Regexes, finding a <BR> tag and throwing into arrays.
Message-ID: <F193Rf6Ci6nx8dyDd3O00008549@hotmail.com>

Hi all.
Can anyone tell me of an easy way to take a string of text, parsing by a 
<BR> tag at the end each word, and put it into an array?
I will have something similar to this:

Ravenhall<BR>Nemesis<BR>Thulsa<BR>Imoen<BR>Tweedledum<BR>Tweedledee<BR>

I want to INCLUDE the <BR> tag in the array thusly:


@names = 
{"Ravenhall<BR>","Nemesis<BR>","Thulsa<BR>","Imoen<BR>","Tweedledum<BR>","Tweedledum<BR>"}

Forgive the crappy formatting, I DO use better syntax in my code than in 
email. I am thinking I need to use m// - but prolly use like m# to use 
hashes for delimiters. Anyway, any help you could provide would be .. well.. 
helpful.
Also, it'd be keen to know how to refer to the elements in the array - I'm 
guessing I can do @names[1] type stuff. I really dig the $names = @names to 
count the scalars in the array.
Sorry if my question is simple, I only know how this language works from 
manpages and PODs.
Thanx,
Ravenhall

foreach ($string =~ m/(.+?<br>)/gi) {
   push @names, $_;
}

I'm sure there's a more elegant way, but this

@names = $string =~ m/(.+?<br>/gi/;

doesn't seem to create the list context for m//g. I'm not sure why.

This works for me.  Send it on to Brock if you would please.

#!/usr/bin/perl

while( <DATA> )
{
   @names = map { /(.+?<br>)/gi } $_;

   print( join( "\n", @names ), "\n" );
}
__DATA__
foo1<BR>foo2<BR>foo3<BR>foo4<BR>

     Welcome aboard, Alaric!

     I'm still very much a Perl newbie myself, but some of the stuff I've
     seen and done with Perl amazes me when I compare it to other languages
     I've worked with, and I know that I've barely scratched the surface.

     If you haven't looked into them already, I strongly recommend
     O'Reilly's "Learning Perl" and "Programming Perl" books.  They have
     another one, "The Perl Cookbook" I believe, but I haven't acquired it
     yet so I can't make an informed recommendation on that one.

     Take care, and welcome aboard!

     Clif

Message-ID: <F136txc1o8yfogkJXrR000001d6@hotmail.com>

The subject of this mail really says it all, but I'll say again, "Thanks!"
I am going to test out the suggestions tonight and see what happens ;) I'm 
building a cgi script that uses the Net:Telnet () module to telnet to a port 
on the same machine, where I have set up a little service from my MUD (an 
online text based roleplaying game, think of Zork) to give me nicely 
formatted listings of who is on at the time.
I'm EVENTUALLY going to use Perl to fetch messages from the in-game message 
boards, format them into HTML, and make a cool message board for our web 
page. I really enjoy this language. I'll keep everyone updated on my 
(probably slow) progress.
