Hi,

I have a string similar to:
Comment: FILING
****------------------------------------------------------------------------****

This is read in as one line (with the page feed).
I was trying to whatever follows the words and I tried this.

if (/(\w+:?\s*\w*:?)+(.*?\*+\s*-+\s*\*+\s*$)/)  {   
            s/$2//;
}

I am getting errors as the program runs (Windows Perl 5.6.0)

The program bombs, displays $_ and then,
/: nested *?+ in regexp at etc. 

I tried taking out some of the pattern to pin point the error, and different errors 
happened.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
