Why are you doing it the hard way instead of the following the advice in the
FAQ:
perldoc -q HTML: "How do I remove HTML from a string?"

~ s/^\s+//;

s/<[a-zA-Z\/][^>]*>//g;

~ s/ //g;

in many cases, separating the regex logic into multiple regexes is more
efficient.

Why do you need to combine them into one regex?

Iam trying to search an email body to remove all html tags

perldoc -q "remove HTML"

How do I remove HTML from a string?

and spaces
then check for a word,

I surely don't know what would qualify as a "word" when all
spaces have been removed...

~ s/^\s+//;

s/<[a-zA-Z\/][^>]*>//g;

~ s/ //g;

then if search match on like "spamword"

It would match on a string like this:

thereisaspamwordinthisstring

Is that what you would want it to do?
