Goddamnit. I wasted almost ten minutes today figuring out why s/</&lt;/g wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. Duh.

  2. But the problem was with the unescaped ampersand. How would using the pipe have helped?

  3. I misread the expression, and thought you were trying to do something else.

Are you a spammer? (REQUIRED — you must select "No" to post.)

NOTE: For mysterious reasons, comment posting is extremely slow right now. It can take from 30-60 seconds after you hit "Submit" for your comment to post. However, your comment will go through; you shouldn't need to click the button again.

Comment Syntax

The basics:

  • For a new paragraph, enter two carriage returns.
  • Plain URLs such as http://www.yahoo.com automatically become links.
  • The system encodes all angle brackets and ampersands. For example, if you try to enter a HTML paragraph, the system displays the open tag literally as "<p>".
