regex nth match of string, perl 5.8.5

minated <> operator at program.pl line 48. Line 48 is }{ So I have the syntax wrong, at the very least. Should I be thinking more in terms of some sort of lookahead? Any hints as to how to approach this will be appreciated. -Chris Cosner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additio
