Print text between to "characters"

Hello,

I'm new to perl and I would like to extract text between to strings. I would like to print all texts between <source> and </source> in a text file. The <source> and </source> could be on different rows.

Ex1
====
<source>Test</source>

=> print Text

Ex2
====
<source>Test1
av test1</source>
<source>Test2</source>

=> Print Test1
av test1
Test2


Thanks
Gustaf

Looks like an XML file. If it is, the best way is to use an XML parsing module like XML::Simple.

If you want more help than that, please provide a sample file.

You should not use a regular expression for a job like this.
