Help needed :- Regular expression

[snehal k]

I am writing the regex where my string contains <a href="(/AMS/get_help)" targer= "_self'"><img border=0 hspace=2 src=/olaf/images/info_active.gif alt=\"Info\">Some Text</a>
here i am intially removing <img> tag.

as $str =~s/<img.*?>//g;
and it removes the img tag.
But when i try to remove the <a href.*?>as
$str =~s/<a href.*?>//g;
it is not being removed
and I have tried with printing value of $1 as
$str =~m/<a href(.*?)>/;
its not prining anything.

can anyone please help me regarding this,

Thnaks in Advance,

Sneha

To deal with the immediate problem, I would guess that you need the /s modifier. You should also study the applicable Perl FAQ, i.e. perldoc -q "remove HTML".
