Hi,

I've got a webpage I've passed to a variable and I need to take a section of text between one start and end point.

So for example I need everything between =Man= and =Woman= here:

=Man=

Is strong bla Is clever bla

=Woman=

Is probably not liking the comment stating that man is clever.

It would also be useful to take everything after =Woman= into a variable, without specifying an end point, so it would go all the way to the end of the page.

At the moment I can only get text between a start and end point on one line. Code for this is: 

my $page = $mw->get_page( { title => $pagename } );
              
          if(Dumper($page) =~ m/Daniel(.*?)world/) { 
                    print $1; 
                            }

Any help would be great, thanks.
