hi

your code's working here and its looks nice (at least for me), tobe honest i need more times to understand your code, i wish you can explain the process of your code (while i am reading my notes about pattern matching)

Anyway i tried other ways, and so far i made a litle code like : 

$str = "aa\nbb\ncc\naa\ndd\nee\n";
@a = ($str =~ /aa\n.*\n.*/g);
print "1 = $a[0]\n2 = $a[1]\n";

[download]
And the other is : 
$str = "aa\nbb\ncc\naa\ndd\nee\n";
@a = ($str =~ /(aa.*).?(aa.*)/gs);
print "1 = $a[0]\n2 = $a[1]\n";

[download]

But anyway, prasadbabu code's nicer, that's why i asked for the explanation, or do you see something bad in my code ?

Update : pKai code simpler and easy to understand for me :)

thanks, zak
