I am Reading the string :

[* &Com::Vwr::Web::HTML::Embperl::Execute($app->include_file_name('header'),$app, "VWR.COM - VWR International Catalogs"); *]

Here is MY Code:

String regexforPerlAttribute = "\".*?\"";

Matcher perlMatcher = Pattern.compile(regexforPerlAttribute,Pattern.DOTALL|Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(text);

String[] PerlPlaceHolder = new String[0];

String textwithStartPH = "";

int i = 0;

while(perlMatcher.find()){

String firstPH = text.substring(index,perlMatcher.start());

PerlPlaceHolder = firstPH;

i ++ ;

textwithStartPH = text.replaceFirst(firstPH, PLACEHOLDER);

String attVal = perlMatcher.group();

textwithStartPH = textwithStartPH.concat(attVal);

//constructSegments(attVal,writer);

index = perlMatcher.end();

}

It shows exception at$app-> character

I am reading the value between double quotes.

Please help me.

Thanx,

Vinayak
