Re: REGEXP

Hi James, Thanks for your mail. But I think the problem like somewhere else. I have the following: echo $buffer; There result : Content-Type: multipart/mixed; This is wrong. It should be Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------B42DA66C4EC07C9B572A58FC" I don't know why it is not reading the whole string. It seems to treat the *boundary* part as another line. I read somewhere the perl compatiable regexp can read a multiply line treating CRLF as part of the line.
