This is rather vague. Do you want to delete each block of text between an <RD> and an <HR> tag? ><RD><BD+><PT:15>Status of this document<HR> [...] ><RD><PT:11>Copyright in this document is reserved to the Crown in right of >the State of Western Australia. Reproduction except in accordance with >copyright law with the consent of the Attorney General is prohibited.<HR> If so, I suggest something like: $text =~ s/<RD>.*?<HR>//gs; The /g modifier means "do this as many times as possible" and the /s modifier means "allow . to match a newline." If you also want to get rid of the newlines after the <HR>, you can add a \n* to the end of the regex. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
