[...snip lots of useful info and code examples...]
Here's code that finds everything between START and END in a paragraph:
undef $/; # read in whole file, not just one line or paragraph
while ( <> ) {
while ( /START(.*?)END/sgm ) { # /s makes . cross line boundaries
print "$1\n";
}
}
Perhaps post the code you wrote which does not work, or explain the
specific difficulties that you are having.
