Hi, although your regex most probably works fine, the initial part (`.`) is useless if you can describe better what* you want to match, and the semi-colons don't need to be escaped. You could consider something like this: `if ($big_string =~ /;([\w ]+$small_string[\w ]+);/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
