Problem with regexp

[darkrad]

if $line var is :
<a href="/Sections/Genres/Sci-Fi/">Sci-Fi</a> / <a href="/Sections/Genres/Action/">Action</a> / <a
href="/Sections/Genres/Thriller/">Thriller</a> <a href="keywords">(more)</a>

and i try to :
[regexp -- {(?s)^.+>(.*)</a>$} $line - gen]

if i print $gen , the result is :
(more)

How do i fix this , to have $gen = Sci-Fi Action Thriller

?

thx for the support

You'd be better off using regsub instead of regexp..

Code: Select all

regsub -all {(<[^>]*>)} $line "" gen

Should do the trick.. Of course, "(more)" will still be in it as well, but it shouldn't be hard for you to get rid of that.
