I did what you said, but it only gave me the first event, however there are 15+ events that I want to capture. I indexed the words summary and description and then began printing out what is between the indexes, however I am putting the numbers in manually each time. Is there a way for Perl to automatically go to the next index? (Instead of $My Sum1 and $My Sum2 being specific numbers)

 my $substr = 'SUMMARY';
  my $offset = 0;


  my $result = index($string, $substr, $offset);

  while ($result != -1) {

    print "$result\n";

    $offset = $result + 1;
    $result = index($string, $substr, $offset);}
 
 my $SUM1= "298";
 my $SUM2="877";
  my $length = $SUM2-$SUM1;
  my $fragment =  substr $string, 298, $length;
  #print "  string: <$string>\n";
  print " <$fragment>\n";
