It appears that you forgot some of the Monastery's injuntions -- specifically Post no more data or code than is required to demonstrate your problem. You got a downvote from /me for posting 700+ lines of (mostly) xml and css. In this case, IMO, your "full code" is abusively excessive.	[reply]

Sounds to be like you just need `$html =~ s/.<div class="heading">Product Description</div>(.)<table +width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>./$1/s;` [download] Just adjust each . to be either greedy or not greedy .? based off your needs. Update*: Added 's' modifier to make . match new lines per perlre - modifiers.	[reply] [d/l]

... and remember to add that /s modifier, so that . also matches a newline. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]
