     Basically, my texts consists of normal text stream and some quotations.

    This is my text stream, and inside "this streams" there are some "quotation
    pairs"
    which are to be replaced like this: <LI>this streams</LI> for formatting in
    HTML.

    Tried ___s/".*?"/<li>.*?</li>/g;___ but not working.

    Thanks.
    Kelvin

    hi kevin

    try
    s#"([^"]*)"#<li>$1</$1>#g

    matches " (any text but quotes) "
    and places (any text..) between <li> and </li>

    Answered in comp.lang.perl.misc only, since it seems to have little to
    do with modules.

    No need to escape those "-characters, AFAIK. And you don't want to
    replace .*? above with - uhm - the regular expression .*?, do you?

    Untested, but I think something like this should do it;

    s,"(.*?)",<li>$1</li>,g;
