Regular Expressions for grabbing tags in between tag.

Friends,

Im stuck with this code for regex in perl, would really appreciate some help in going ahead.

I have the following problem ahead.

$content contains the array loaded from the file abc.txt

$content =~ m|<tag1>(.*)<\/tag1>|g;
$TAG1 = $1;

$TAG1 should be containing:
text1<br>
text2<br>
text3<br>
text4<br>
text5<br>

abc.txt
*******************
<tag1>
text1<br>
text2<br>
text3<br>
text4<br>
text5<br>
</tag1>
<tag2>
.
.
.
.
</tag2>
*******************

Thanks in advance.

 

You probably need the single-line modifier (s next to the g).
