Indeed. You must not only determine what it is you do want to match (hence the reply #1: “what are the relevant parts?”), but also what rules will filter out what you do not want.
Seriously consider using a subroutine to allow for some conditional logic to be used ... (pseudocode follows)
sub my_filter {
my $str = shift;
my $TRUE = 1; my $FALSE = 0; # FOR CLARITY
return $FALSE if ($str =~ /reject_pattern_#1/);
return $FALSE if ($str =~ /reject_pattern_#2/);
return $TRUE if ($str =~ /accept_pattern_#1/);
return $TRUE if ($str =~ /accept_pattern_#2/);
return $FALSE; // DOESN'T MATCH ANYTHING
}
Then, write a test-program using Test::More which puts your subroutine through many dozens of tests, using a carefully-chosen set of “correct,” “almost correct,” “barely incorrect” and “outright bogus” strings, to prove that your logic is actually trustworthy and reliable. (Tip: you will spend a lot more time ferreting-out the little bugs that were lurking in your original version, hoping to remain un-detected, than you originally thought possible.)
