Hi,

I've got a question =) Currently, I have this code: 

    my @headers;
    while ($post->{post_message} =~ m|\=\=([a-z0-9_ &\[\]ÀÂÄàâäÇçÉÊÈËé
+êèëÏÌÎïìîÖÔÒöôòÜÛÙüûùA-Z?!;«»()"\s]+)\=\=|g) {

        my $section = get_section_code($1,$post->{post_message});
        
        my @subheaders;    
        while ($section =~ m|^\=\=\=([a-z0-9_ &\[\]ÀÂÄàâäÇçÉÊÈËéêèëÏÌÎ
+ïìîÖÔÒöôòÜÛÙüûùA-Z?!;«»()"\s\-]+)\=\=\=|g) {
            push @subheaders, $1;
        }

        push @headers, { Section => $1, SubLoop => \@subheaders }, 
        
    }

This works fine, until I've started using ===sub header=== and ====sub-sub header====

(i.e using 3 ='s and 4 ='s)

Is there a way I can edit the regex, so it will look to see if the match starts either at the *beginning* of the variable, or the line starts with \n.

Here is some example content of $post->{post_message}; 

 
==Introduction==
sdfsfsdfsdf

dfgdgdg

===sub header===

[[testing]]

====sub-sub header====

bla bla

===sub header===

[[testing]]

sub-sub header

bla bla

==Brief History==
sdfsdfsdfsdf

[[testing]] [[testing]]
==Geography==

little edit here
==Regions==
==Cities==
==Sights and Activites==
==Weather==
==Getting There==
==END Getting There==

TIA :)
