Re: multi line regex

in reply to multi line regex

You read the file into an array of lines, then you compare single lines against something that suspiciously looks like a multi-line-structure. You probably have to slurp the whole file into the scalar and not use the for loop:

my $entry = do { local $/; <INFO> }; # slurp the whole file

To which Corion adds:

with the /x modifier you will have to match all the whitespace explicitly, meaning to put \s+ here and there and everywhere you might expect whitespace.
