Nishi, First of all, when you have a new question, start a new thread. Please see the FAQ. The only people who will find this message are people interested file names. Second, parsing structured data with regexes is notoriously tricky. There are hundreds of modules on CPAn to accomplish what you're trying to do. which ones have you tried? Why didn't they work? Again, please see the FAQ or http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html.
