here is the original:
<name>willy
<desc>needs to take a nap
<email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
here is the result that I want:
<section>
<name>
willy
</name>
<desc>
needs to take a nap
</desc>
<email>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
</email>
</section>
if i have the whole thing in one variable $data, then
$data =~ s/<(.+?)>(.*?)<(.+?)>/<$1>$2<\\$1><$3>/;
might work (untested) for the the <name> part... but i need to be able
to work with $3 as if it
were $1 later on...
perhaps i need a way to parse this several times over, but I'm not
sure about the best way. this kind of data munging is really making
my brain hurt.
a couple of suggestions would make me a happy camper :)
