Hi,

Sorry, the subject isn't very descriptive, but wasn't sure how to describe what I'm trying to do =)

I have this string: 

my $summary = q~[sommaire Bordeaux à test]
[[Hébergement à Bordeaux]]
[[Gastronomie à Bordeaux]]
[[A voir à Bordeaux]]
  == a sub header
   === sub header
   
  == foo bar 
    === whatever
     
[[Sorties, vie nocturne à Bordeaux]]
[[Suggestions pour Bordeaux]]
[/sommaire]
~;

..what I need to do, is has a while () {} which will go through that string, and split it up into the following: 

var 1: [[Bordeaux|A propos de Bordeaux]]

var 2: [[Gastronomie à Bordeaux]]

var 3: [[A voir à Bordeaux]]
  == a sub header
   === sub header
   
  == foo bar 
    === whatever
     
var 4: [[Sorties, vie nocturne à Bordeaux]]

var 5: [[Suggestions pour Bordeaux]]

I've tried quite a few regexes, but I can't seem to get them right (I've just ordered the following book - but that won't arrive for a couple of days, I thought it would be worth my while to read it though, as there is still a ton of stuff I don't know about regexes - should of done this years ago!)

TIA!

Andy
