Hi all.

Help needed to get one regex to capture a <option> content highlighted below in parenthesis in the following 2 situations...

1) <select name="test"> <option value="a">a</option> <option value="b">b</option> (<option value="c" selected>c</option>) ... <option value="nx"></option> </select>

2) <select name="test2"> (<option value="a">a</option>) <option value="b">b</option> <option value="c">c</option> ... <option value="ny"></option> </select>

nx and ny denote an arbitrary number of option tags.

if "selected" is found within an <option ...></option>- capture the selected <option ... selected...></option> to backref \1

*otherwise* capture the first <option value="a"></option> within the <select>...</select>

using perl 5.8.0

Thanks in advance :)

What would be the best way on an online quiz- using a php/mySQL framwork to make a person - once they ve started the quiz have to finish or get zero s? Zend? Ajax? Ruby? Perl? Just sessions / cookies? (something else?)

(I d like it if they close the browser that it would submit a call as well- and I m thinking that might have to be done with JavaScript)

Code:
open (NGC_Input_File-"ngc_update.xml");

Problem:
