Hi arturo,
The solution you presented will overwrite the output-file on each occurance of the section start. Furthermore, writing to closed filehandles isn't a very clean solution, IMHO.
You could try to use the magic '..' operator:
open OUT, '>&STDOUT' or die;
while ( <DATA> )
{
print OUT if /start-marker/../end-marker/
and !/(start-marker|end-marker)/;
}
close OUT or die;
__DATA__
a
b
c
start-marker
d
e
end-marker
f
g
start-marker
h
i
end-marker
j
k
This will print the lines within the markers (thus: d,e,h and i in my example) but ignores the markers.
HTH,
(update: fixed some layout issues and used the actual '..' operator instead of the '...' one!).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
