Here's another approach... also more in keeping with today's norms (be sure to review and understand davido's code in the Q&A section) and NOT reliant on assumptions about the order in which the coder constructed the image link (see Re: Return multiple matches in file).

my @string = qq 'img src="'; push @string, qq 'alt="'; # We're going to do the matching <b>* ONE *</b> step at a time, for +reasons cited above. # Hence, the array (which could have been created all on one line) # which does NOT assume the order (in the source data) of the search + terms. open (my $INFILE, '<', 'htmFOR909469.html') or die "Can't open htmFOR9 +09469.html ", $!; my $text = join('',<$INFILE>); close ($INFILE); for my $string (@string) { while ( $text =~ /$string([^\"]*)/gis ) { # Regex matches and captures anything after $string that is +NOT a double quote print "Found: $1 --- Searchterm was: $string \n"; } }

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;
