Hi,

How can I get only the last set of pattern matched lines.

INPUT __DATA__:

START
These are the first
set of lines
which are to be extracted
END
START
These are the second
set of lines
which are to be extracted
END
XXX
ZZZ
YYY
START
These are the third
set of lines
which are to be extracted
END
aasds
tteret
tertetr

OUTPUT:

Thanks,

Gopi

Title:
Use: <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and: <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
