Do you mean your input file is an XML-file, but with the `<body>` tag not closed or closed at a wrong place? If the `<body>` tag is not closed then your XML-file is invalid and you better remedy that first. If you just want to move the `<body>` tag to some other place (which means you want to re-order your XML-tree structure) then consider that XML-files are best handled with one of the many XML-parsers and not with regexes. If you can show a (small / stripped down, but still relevant) example of your XML-file, you will get a much better reply from the Monks here.

So instead of providing one line of input, that represents your real input, you'd rather attempt to describe it using English? So what we , random strangers, can interpret your English the way you do, provided you didn't omit anything, and then construct a $line correctly? Both how it looks before the change you want to make, and after? So that we can then craft a regular expression, that you can use to make the substitution you're attempting? But you yourself said you're not an native English speaker, so we'd be guessing the whole time. You've managed to provide input in all these previous postings of yours XML tag closing, XML tag closing, string concatenation, split function using multiple delimiters Do you want help or not?
