Regrex - ignoring the boundaries

[Rajeev Rumale]

Greetings !

I am having a some difficulaties in matching and extracting a part of
strings.

I need to load a HTML file into a scalar variable and then extract certain
part of the it which is "marked" ( ie., %%row_start%%%  and %%row_end%% ).

The problems is with the "\n" at end of each line in the html file. If there
is a newline immediately after the "mark" the Regrex fails to work properly.

If I remove all the "\n" from the loaded value then I am able to get the
result well. But this will cause the HTML code to be unformated and will
creat problems for webdesingers while debuggin html code.

Can we do this without removing "\n" char?

I am attaching both perl code and html file(zipped together).  Please check
out and let me
know where I am wrong.

with regards

Rajeev Rumale
