Hi Guys! Had a favor (again!) to ask of you smart people - I have two problems:

1. I have a HTML page in the form - 
JUNK JUNK

NAME NAME
PANE

[download]
And I want to extract the "NAME NAME" part only (not the stuff above or below NAME NAME either). How would I go about doing that. I tried some RegEx like   m/(.*)PANE\s*([^<]+)/gi; but that didn't work. Any thoughts? BTW "PANE" is the keyword which is always there.... the NAME NAME changes.

2. I have the same html page, which has a lot of text, but will also has a website URL (not a hyperlink) surrounded by either a "" or a < > and I want to extract it. Thing is that when the < > is there I can get the URL easily, but when I do a RegEx for finding the url in a "", I get the other content on the page which is also in quotes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
