If word1 and word2 are on the same line, you could do something like this:
open(INFILE,"myfile.txt");
open(OUTFILE,">results.txt");
while(<INFILE>){
while($_ =~ /word1(.*)word2/g){ #get all characters between word1 and
word2, one match at a time
print OUTFILE $1."\n";
}
}
Someone else might have a better one, though.

Subject: pattern match
Hi All,
I have a file which has several occurances of word1 and word2
interspersed with other text. I need to extract only the text which is
contained between consecutive occurances of word1 and word2 in that order.
Is it possible to write a pattern match for this ?
Thanks,
Ramesh
