There are 15+ event titles that I want to capture. The event titles are always written between the words "summary" and "description". I indexed the words summary and description and then began printing out what was between the indexes, however I have been putting the index numbers in manually each time. Is there a way for Perl to automatically go to the next index? (Instead of
$My Sum1 and $My Sum2 being specific numbers)
my $substr = 'SUMMARY';
my $offset = 0;
my $result = index($string, $substr, $offset);
while ($result != -1) {
print "$result\n";
$offset = $result + 1;
$result = index($string, $substr, $offset);}
my $SUM1= "298";
my $SUM2="877";
my $length = $SUM2-$SUM1;
my $fragment = substr $string, 298, $length;
print " <$fragment>\n";

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).
