hello everyone :)
i have a small problem here. i try to extract something from a text input file, but i cant get exactly what i want.

this is the input file example:

From: hweefarn@yahoo.com
Subject: forward to me
To: hweefarn@hotmail.com
Message-id:
<20031212113224.26750.qmail@web10409.mail.yahoo.com>
*******************************************************************************

this is my coding:

if (/^Subject:(\s+)(\S+).*$/)
{
$subject = "$2";
}
******************************************************************************

after run this coding, the output is only "forward".

how can i get the whole subject, "forward to me" ?

thank you very much.

regards,
hweefarn
