analysis of text using Perl

hassert · 2004-02-26 20:00:54

If you have a TK GUI with a text area, and you want to allow the user to type code into this text area while the program is running. I want my program to analysis what is in the text area when the user presses a button. Does anyone know how I would go about this?

Don't use perl myself but I know it has excellent Regular Expression support. They are the main text manipulation method in most languages/platforms. A quick search in google for 'perl regular expression tutorial' shows: http://tlc.perlarchive.com/articles/perl/pm0001_perlretut.shtml.

That should point you in the right direction.
