Need to know why Perl fails.
Hello .

Would really like to know why this code fails . I need to edit both the QUESNO : and <\p> tag at the same time .

open(TEXT, "<20030211.txt") || die ("Cannot open the text files");

while (<TEXT>) {

if ($_ =~ m/QUESNO :/) {

if ($_ =~ m/<\/p>/) {

print ($_);

}

}

}

Here is a sample of text file.

       ctime NUM
