Hi,
I am having problem matching some text that spans more than one line.
The text file I have looks something like this:

SomeText
void what(void *kiss,INT8U
miss)
SomeText

Using the brackets as delimiters and the INT8U as the target, i use the following code to try and get the 2 line between the 2 SomeText up but i don't seem to get it

if ($Hap =~ m/.*INT8U.*\)/s)
    {
        print "$Hap";
    }

One thing to note is that i have tried using the undef $/ but it keep giving me the whole text back.
Is there any other way to do that?
Thanks
