Thank you very much, this is indeed working as expected, even if I put in a complete real-world file in the __DATA__ section ;-) I tried to alter the script, so that i modifies all of the apropriate files. For testing purposes, I tried to match the files and output there modified content. It seems, that this approach eliminates all line-breaks. Output is all in a single line. Can some one help me out, where my error is ? ;-) Cheers, Xevven

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $re = qr{
    <div \s+ class="sectionHeading">REMOVE_THIS.*?</div>\s+
    <div \s+ class="sectionContent">.*?</div>\s+
}msx;

#my $html = do { local $/; <DATA> };

#$html =~ s/$re//;

opendir(my $dh, ".") or die "$!";
my @files = grep { s/\././g < 2 } <*.html>;
closedir $dh;

for my $file (@files) {
    local $/ = undef;
    open my $fh, "<", $file or die "$!";
    my $content = <$fh>;
    $content =~ s/$re//;
    print $content;
    close $fh;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
