Hi,

Thanks for your advice and sorry for posting something already asked. The post you referenced in your reply was very helpful. But some darkness remains in my DBA's brain.

Here is the code I've done: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
$file = "data.txt";
open (INPUT, "< $file");
undef $/;
my $string = <INPUT>;
$string =~ s/\n//g;
while ($string =~ /A\)(.*?)B\)/g) {
        print "<a>".$1."</a>\n";
}
close (INPUT);

This prints out all the occurrences of the A)... as expected

Thanks again for your precious knowledge.

P.
