Hi,

I'm would like to parse a basic html file and i tried the following Perl script without result.
My code will be quite simple for you so you will understand what i'm trying to do without any problem.
Maybe someone will be able to tell me where is my fault.
I would appreciate because i'm a newbie with complex regexp in Perl (multiple lines...) and i don't understand why it doesn't work... 
use strict;

my $path_publication = "C:\\Mes_Programmes\\scripts";
my $entree = "";
my $contenu = "";        
my @fichiers = ();

@fichiers = ();
opendir REP, $path_publication or die "Cannot read $path_publication";
+ 
@fichiers = readdir REP; 
closedir REP;

foreach $entree (@fichiers) {
        $contenu = "";        
        if ($entree =~ /diagram[[:alnum:]]+\.htm/) {
                open IN, '<' . $path_publication . '\\' . $entree or d
+ie "Cannot open $entree";
                while (<IN>) { $contenu = $contenu . $_; }
                if ( $contenu =~ m[.*<body>.*<br>.*</span>.*<H1>.*</H1
+>.*<HR>.*<SMALL>.*</SMALL>.*</body>.*]smi ) { print "IT WORKS"; }
                close IN;
        }
}
