Holger, Actually $ is a special character in string in perl. So, if the $ is there in the input, you will have to always write it with the leading escape character.
So, make your input will be like this, my $data = "Hello, i am a litte String.$ Please format me.$$$ I am the end of the String.$$ And i am the last!"; It will solve your problem.

The regex should replace $ with the string <br>, $$ with <p> and $$$ with <br><br> (please don't think about the why) If tried to use the following: $data =~ s/\$\$\$/<br><br>/gm; #should catch every occurrence of $$$ $data =~ s/\$\$/<p>/gm; #should catch $$ $data =~ s/\$/<br>/gm; #the rest So data should look after the first regex: Hello, i am a litte String.$Please format me.<br><br>I am the end of the String.$$And i am the last! And after the second: Hello, i am a litte String.$Please format me.<br><br>I am the end of the String.<p>And i am the last! And the last: Hello, i am a litte String.<br>Please format me.<br><br>I am the end of the String.<p>And i am the last! But all regexes i tried (the one above are only one try) failed! When i print out the string it looks like: Hello, i am a litte String. Please format me. I am the end of the String.3398 And i am the last! Where the number after String. differs between every run. Can someone help me ?
