Hi,

I want to extract everything between the hash signs in the following
string

"### This is a test ###"

I am using the following..

if($desc=~ /\#{3}(.*?)\#{3}/ )
{
print $1;

}

I am not getting the desired result. Please tell me what I am doing
wrong.

What you're doing wrong is not posting a short-but complete script
that demonstrates your error. Because what you have above *does*
work. So therefore you're doing something wrong in your actual code
that you haven't bothered to show us...

$ perl -e'
my $desc = "### This is a test ###";
if($desc=~ /\#{3}(.*?)\#{3}/ )
{
print $1;}

'
Results: This is a test

Paul Lalli- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

My String contains new line characters like
"This is a test

BEGIN PART INFORMATION##
5G5E-6010-AA|BLK ASY-CYL|
##END PART INFORMATION

"

So how do i modify my regexp
