My forward slash is there. It's just after the filp-flp. No?

print if (/^\<ReportHost/../^\<\/ReportHost>/);
#                          ^

...you don’t need to backslash the < character. Also, the regex will be easier to read if you change the delimiters

Thanks for the tip! Can you explain or link me to an explaination of the new syntax?

Note that the ^ metacharacter in a regex matches the beginning of a line. Is this what you want?

Intinctively, yes since I'm expecting to see it at the beginning of the line. Although, you do bring up a good point.
