The response is too big, so i just copied the extract of the response . I have to capture the date 2009-06-16 00:26:02 using perl regualr expression, whenever the status changes from AAA to BBB.
In the whole response status AAA is changed to BBB only once.
i tried with
$htmlResponse
= ~ m/^(.*)<td>AAA<\/td><td>BBB<\/td><\/tr>/i
but for no use
Please help
You could either try to put in a match for the newlines (\n) or add the 's' modifier with your 'i' modifier at the end, then use the 'match anything' . to catch the newline. Check out this tutorial, it explains this: [anaesthetist.com...]
will help. \s is a whitespace, thus it matches linebreaks, tabs or spaces (and more? my memory is bad).
$htmlResponse=~m/(.*)\s*<\/td>\s*<td>\s*Status\s*<\/td>\s*<td>AAA\s*<\/td>\s*<td>\s*BBB\s*<\/td>/igs
