Hi there Monks!
Can someone explain why this code does not match on my code? I have to use regular expression for this.
Thank you very much!!!

#!/perl/bin/perl


use CGI qw(:header);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use strict;

print header();


use warnings 'all';

my $directory = "/test";
my $new_file = "$directory/test.txt";

my $out_put;

open(FH,'<',$new_file) || die $!;

my @test = <FH>;

foreach my $line (@test)
{
    $line =~ /<!--\s+\d+nd movie -->\s*(.*?)\s*<!--\s+\/\d+nd movie --
+>/sgi;
    $out_put = $1;
    print $out_put;
}

close(FH);

Here is the test.txt file, I am trying to get whatever is in between tags - <!-- 1nd  --><!-- /1nd table --> and <!-- 2nd table --><!-- /2nd table -->:


test.txt

<!-- 3nd table --><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><t
+r><td>Test Line no end of line.</td</tr></table><!-- /3nd table -->

<!-- 1nd  -->

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td><font color=
+red>Test Line</font></td></tr></table>

<!-- /1nd table -->

<!-- 4nd table --><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="1"><t
+r><td><font color=navy>Test Line no end of line.</font></td></tr></ta
+ble><!-- /4nd table -->

<!-- 2nd table -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td>Test Line no
+ end of line.</td</tr></table>
<!-- /2nd table -->
