Hello I am looking for a way to extract multiple occurances of a substring (in my case something in rectangular brackets /^<.+$>/ in such a way that the resultant list includes the brackets and its content. for example if i do a split at ">" somehow it gets cut of ? but I seem not able to do this and yes, I am a newbie and sorry to bug you (well not really) Yours Matthias # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
