A little help on Regular Expressions

[frodo]

Hello all.

I have a variable ($sch_body_file) in my perl script which holds the contents of a html page. All links in this html page have double quotes (") at the end of the URL. For example

<A href=http://www.cokama.com/" target=_blank>a link to cokama</A>

Basically I need to strip the ending doublequote from all strings which begin with href=http://

The resulting code should look like
<A href=http://www.cokama.com/ target=_blank>a link to cokama</A>

Bearing in mind also there could be multiple links in the HTML page. Unfortunatly I'm not that good at regular expressions so if anybody can help, I would appreciate it.

Give this a whirl:

$sch_body_file =~ s~(href=http://[^"]+)"~$1~g;

That is perfect... worked a treat first time.

Thanks very much for your help, you've saved me hours of work!
