Thanks for your reply. Let me try and explain what I am about to do.
I have to read a specific structure in a *.h C File, I am
searching it by name, and get it's contents to form a HTML page on the fly.
Example

struct mystruct[]={
{"a",1},
{"b",2}};
[download]

I want to form a HTML page with the values a,b,1,2 and so on .
Supposing that I have a big string, how do I get multiple matches at a time.
Let's say that in a sentence 'the' occurs four times and I want all the 4 matches the same time.
My questions may be bad as this is my first Perl program kindly bear with me.
Thanks in Advance.
I have tried and accumulated the whole sturcture in a string.
