Silly Perl Question

Karla

OK I know this is prolly REALLY easy and all but I'm only learning Perl at the mo, so go easy on me k?

I want to write a script that scans through a HTML page and converts all lowercase HMTL to uppercase. AFAIK I've tried everything and it still won't work.

No one-liners please, like I said I'm still just a beginner.

Thanks

Not entirely sure about this but to convert a string from lower to upper case use:

$String_Name =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/;

Now if there's someway to combine that with the s/ replace function...

Another way is to do each HTML tag:

$String_Name =~ s/\<b\>/\<B\>/ig;

i at the end ignores case, g is for global replace throughout the string.

If this helps let me know. http://www.sci.kun.nl/thalia/perlhelp/perl_20.html

I can't seem to get either of those to work but I did find a HMTL formatter.
I haven't had time to take the code apart just yet but here's the link if you're intersted.
