in reply to How can I extract part of a string after a specific character

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $string = "TITLE=SPECIAL CASE 1"; $string =~ /.*=(.*)/; print $1;

. stands for any character but a newline
* for zero or more times
() stores the result in $1.
Type "perldoc perlfaq6" for more details ...
