Hello ,monks.
I have this text file:
I'll put numbers to it's lines.
1. Start context.
2. Some entry.
3. End context.
4. Start context.
5. Some different entry.
6. End context.

I try to eliminate the text in such way that the entry
between the closest START and END entries will be deleted.
The problem is that my script takes the first "Start
context" and goes trough the file until the last "End
context".

Here's a sample of what I use:
$ARGV[0]=$commandfile;
               $^I=".bak";
               while(<>) {
                        foreach $com (keys %hashnew) { 

                                                         
                                 if (/$hashnew{com}/../\*\ Exit\ conte
+xt\ \*/) {
                                                       s/$com//;
                                                             } 
                                        }
                    print WFILE $_;
               }

What should I do.
Thank you very much.
