in thread Parse variables from @output

Again, compare your regular expression against the string you're trying to match, and eliminate the differences:

system image file is: bootflash:\/\/\/n5000-uk9.7.1.5.N1.1.bin +\n /^\s*system image file is:\s*"(.*)"/mi

Maybe you want to use a more interactive tool to find where your regex fails, for example haukex's interactive Perl regex tester.

    Already tried that one, doesn't work I'm afraid

      Which one did you try? I didn't post any solution. I only lined up your input string with your regular expression to make it easier for you to see the differences.

      If you look closely, you might find that the regex includes double quotes while your string does not. What do the double quotes mean there?

      Sorry, with you now. Taken the quotes out, ok now just a few more to sort. Thanks again.
