Thanks This was great and easy. Do you have a good way of removing this string from the file after the string has been read as well? The problem with this is that i read this text out of an postscriptfile and read works find because then i can convert it into ascii but when i want to remove the text i don't want to corrupt the postscriptfile and the graphics in the file so i can't convert to ascii and back. \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ Jonny Axelsson Giulio Orsero <giulioo@pobox.com> To: hylafax-users@hylafax.org Sent by: cc: hylafax-users-bounce@ Subject: Re: [hylafax-users] Finding and removing strings from Faxfile hylafax.org 2002-10-14 21:17 On Mon, 14 Oct 2002 18:55:51 +0200, jonny.axelsson@systeam.se wrote: >I need a way of finding a start parameter and a end parmameter and >then get the text between theses and then one more time between >anouther pair of parameters to get the faxnumber. $ echo -e "this is a test <Z>ciao<Z>\n2nd line" > go1 $ perl -ne 'print $1 if (m|<Z>(.*?)<Z>|);' go1 ciao$ -- giulioo@pobox.com ____________________ HylaFAX(tm) Users Mailing List _______________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe, click http://lists.hylafax.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi On UNIX: mail -s unsubscribe hylafax-users-request@hylafax.org < /dev/null *To learn about commercial HylaFAX(tm) support, mail sales@hylafax.org.* ____________________ HylaFAX(tm) Users Mailing List _______________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe, click http://lists.hylafax.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi On UNIX: mail -s unsubscribe hylafax-users-request@hylafax.org < /dev/null *To learn about commercial HylaFAX(tm) support, mail sales@hylafax.org.*
