get_tag

Synopsis

get_tag(  )

Returns the next start or end tag in a document. If there are no remaining start or end tags, get_tag returns undef. get_tag is useful because it skips unwanted tokens and matches only the tag that you want—if it exists. When a tag is found, it is returned as an array reference, like so: [$tag, $attr, $attrseq, $text]. If an end tag is found, is is returned—e.g., "/$tag".
