Re: Matching text between tags

Can't test ( being mobile) but where is the loop? Did you post the whole code?

Please try replacing if with while .

Or use list context @underlined= $text =~ //gs

Btw the /s will help . matching newlines.

Sorry, it matches, but only the first `<u>...</u>` There are two lines in the sample text. `foreach my $lines (@lines){ if( $lines =~ /<u>(.*?)<\/u>/igs ){ print "\n $1\n"; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Did you try what I suggested? `if` has scalar context and will only match once per line! The /g will only memorize the position fur the consecutive match. (i.e. two ifs will match twice and so on) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l]
