RE: Another regex question

[Scot Robnett]

I don't understand what you did in that example that I didn't do
already...there was a script sample underneath the HTML that does what
you're showing, I'm having trouble with the multi line matching and other
than changing $/ (which I did), I don't see anything different...

Will the file always be formated as below (with the blank line between
articles)? If so you could set the record separator '$/' to paragraph
mode to read each of them in:

# $/;       #default is newline
# $/ = "";  # paragraph mode (blank line)
# undef $/; # slurp mode (the whole file)

my @ary;

while (<FH>) {
    $/ = "";
    push @ary, $_;
}

foreach my $thingie(@ary)  {
    #do something with $thingie
}


btw - call subs like:
sub_name();
