Hello,
A naive question.
But every time I look into the re module my heart starts pounding. I spend uncountable time figuring out what I need to do. But this time I failed.
Suppose I have the following string:
"<h1>Hello!</h1>\n <h2>How are you?</h2>\n <p>Some text\n and more text.</p>"
I would like to break it into a list:
["<h1>Hello!</h1>", "<h2>How are you?</h2>", "<p>Some text\n and more text.</p>"]
string:token(MyString, "$\n") doesn't work because it would break the paragraph.
So I try:
re:replace(Copy, [$>,$\n], [$>,$",$,,$"], [global, {return, list}]).
But I get:
"<h1>Hello!</h1>\",\" <h2>How are you?</h2>\",\" <p>This is....
I don't want those pesky escaped quotes at the end of the heads. I want the real deal.
But how can I make it happen?
Thanks and holiday cheer to all,
LRP
