Hi gopal, There is a problem if the input string is `my $line = "<select name=\"url><23\" style=\"width><A125px\" >";` .But i think a slight modification to your previous answer will do the job then `#$line =~ m#<([^">]+(?:"[^"]+"))[^>]+>#;` IS there any problem.Also provide me an asnwer for the question about `<!--->--->`thing	[reply] [d/l] [select]
