[MacPerl] newbie - how to chop a file into more than one

["Mark Bedish" <markbedish@compuserve.com>]

To All,


Please excuse my ignorance.

I am searching for specific start and end points in a file so that I can
split it up and then work on replacing characters in each section. There are
upto 100 or so start and end points.

Example

***** Start of Data *****
line 1
line 2
line 3 wtc
**** End of Data *****

I am sure it is easy and I have looked at the books but being new to it,
just can't fathom it out!


Many thanks for assistance.


Regards
