G'day Xevven,

Welcome to the monastery.

"I think, this section is too complicated to match with RegExp, do you agree?"

No, I don't agree. On the basis of the data you've shown, this regex works just fine:

my $re = qr{ <div \s+ class="sectionHeading">.*?</div>\s+ <div \s+ class="sectionContent">.*?</div>\s+ }msx;

Here's my test:

#!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; my $re = qr{ <div \s+ class="sectionHeading">.*?</div>\s+ <div \s+ class="sectionContent">.*?</div>\s+ }msx; my $html = do { local $/; <DATA> }; $html =~ s/$re//; print $html; __DATA__ <!-- KEEP --> <div class="sectionHeading">REMOVE_THIS</div> <div class="sectionContent"> <table class="sectionTable" ... ... </table> </div> <!-- KEEP -->

I added the <!-- KEEP --> comments as markers. I used all the <table>...</table> data exactly as you posted: I saw no reason to repeat it all again here.

Here's the output:

<!-- KEEP --> <!-- KEEP -->
