$your_data =~ /\+Header1(.|\n+)-Header1\n\+Header2(.|\n+)-Header2\n\+H +eader3(.|\n+)-Header3\n/;
I wouldn't suggest using that as anything but a starting point, though. There are regex options for changing the . operator to match \n's, and you may want to consider doing a line by line parse (and having boolean--i.e., flag--variables to tell you what section you're in).
The last suggestion might be started like this:
while ($line = <your_file_handle>) { if($line =~ /^\+Header1/) { $header1 = 1; next } # if +Header1 has its own line use next elsif($line =~ /^-Header1/) { next } else { $header1 = 0 } . . . if($header1) { $h1_data[$index++] = $line; } . . . }
Again, these are just quick things to get you started thinking; you may want to look at this site and search for regex, or look at the perlman pages for more information regarding them.
