First time here and I'm looking for help. Short intro, 86 web sites, installed a hundred perl scripts, wrote one. Besides lack of sleep and a racing away hairline, the last is my problem. I would appreciate any insight as to what is happening when...
I wrote a small script that opens a text file with a format like this:
Question|Answer
Then save it to an array.
Notable: The answer may have new lines after each paragraph/chunk of text. Large chuck of text.
I then take a specified html doc, open it and read it in line by line looking for comment markers. While i'm opening the doc I split the two sides of the text file (array) at the "|" then say print $answer at <!--ANSWER-HERE-->. I also print $question at the second marker called <!--QUESTION-HERE-->.
All works well if there are no new lines in the $question variable. If there are, then I wind up with a mixed soup of text.
I tried manipulating the $question variable by first replacing (/\n/\~nl~/g); then before writing (/\~nl~/\<p>/g);
I hope my language is clear here. That's probably part of my problem.
Many Thanks
Tom
