Bob, This is what I had in the first place (($test) = $string =~ /(.*)Call Distance/;). All I want to do is extract EVERYTHING before the first instance of Call Distance:. From there using the same regular expression I need to remove EVERYTHING after Call Distance:. Including Call Distance:. So if I had the string...
$string = "Kind Crud Call Distance: hell world Crud Call Distance:"; Using a regex. I should end up with only *Kind Crud* and that is all. Any ideas?

Needn't worry about rest of string.
