And perhaps your questions would benefit from formatting the data (the supposed content of the webpage) as well. See Markup in the Monastery.

I'm also more than a bit suspicious of your data: Is the webpage from which you have "taken" the data a wiki or somesuch?

Or, assuming your data is accurately represented above, using...

=~ /(?:===Comments===(.*?)=Section \d=)|(?:===Comments===(.*?)=Another Section=)/sg

might work for multiple comment sections. Sorry, I hate to post untested code, but this is, due to press of time

As to your problem re the end of the page: the last word the server knows about is </html> so the last character will be >, even though that will leave your with some markup tags to remove (possibly "</p></body></html").

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
