Can't Post Hi...I have the following text; <h2>WASHINGTON, May 23 (AFP) -</h2> US soldiers in Iraq seized a truck believed to be loaded with 2,000 gold bars worth as much as 500 million dollars during a ... I am trying to remove the following; <h2>WASHINGTON, May 23 (AFP) -</h2> I have tried; $back =~ s,<h2>(.+?)</h2>,,i ....and... $back =~ s,<h2>.+</h2>,,i ... and ... $back =~ s,<h2>?</h2>,,i None of these seem to remove it. Am I doing it wrong, or is it just a problem with caching on my server, so I do not see the updates? Cheers Andy

[In reply to] Can't Post Paul's answer worked for me as well: $html =~ s|<h2>.+?</h2>||si; Of the ones you provided, these worked: $back =~ s,<h2>(.+?)</h2>,,i $back =~ s,<h2>.+</h2>,,i This one didn't because the ? was making the > optional and not looking for anything in between the h2 tags: $back =~ s,<h2>?</h2>,,i
