Re: Perl will not match my RegEx pattern....

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Below are examples of the output requested. I'm refraining from giving entire list search returns 4375 entries, which is the expected amount, all are being seen as invalid due to some error in my code. I've tried chomp on the returned data, but no change in results, chop just removed last char and invalidated the results.

In the results above, all should be a valid Seat Location (pattern) except for 'Imaging Center' & 'Italy'.

FWIW- below is the actual search performed using Net::LDAP. This format has been used in many other scripts besides this one, but thought it may give context to what's happening.

my $userFilter = "(SeatLocation=*)";
my &userAttributes = [ 'SeatLocation', 'uid' ];

my $searchMesg = $ldap->search (base => $userBase, filter => $userFilt
+er, scope => $scope, attrs => $userAttributes);
my @entries = $searchMesg->entries; 
my $totalFound=@entries; # determine the number of entries found
