in thread how to extract text between 2 strings on separate lines

Thank you very much for your help indeed there was a precedence issue so $record =~ /^start\b$/ .. $record =~ /^end\b$/ fixed the issue...many thanks indeed. and as for the "\b" in the regex yes you are right its not needed, thank you.
