Hi BrowserUk,

Thanks for that. It worked perfectly. I decided to change "<" for "/" because I use it less, in fact I do use "<" for other reasons, but not "/", so I ended up with:

my $r =  q( <(\D+)>        # Opening tag <....> 
                ([^/]*?)        # stuff in the middle which does not h
+ave the closing tab character '/' 
                (<\/\1>)        # closing tag of same type as opening 
+tag </....>.
                );

while ($text =~ m/$r/gix){

... processing ...
}
