Re^3: In my it is printing in the else i want to get output for the for loop in linux.

I am not sure about that.
It is perfectly allowed to use a ~~character class~~ Perl short-cut within brackets, [\d] means the same as [0-9]
[\w] would mean same as [a-zA-Z0-9_]

use strict;
use warnings;

my $x = 'a34x5';

my @y = $x =~ /([\d]+)/g;
my @z = $x =~ /([0-9]+)/g;
print "@y\n";  # 34 5  \d worked fine
print "@z\n";  # 34 5

my @b = $x =~ /([\d\w]+)/g;
print "@b\n"; # a34x5  \d irrelevant but \w works

my @c = $x =~ /([\w]+)/g;  #brackets not needed
print "@c\n";  #a34x5
my @d = $x =~ /(\w+)/g;
print "@d\n";  #a34x5

No matter what, the OP's code is bizarre.

Added: The idea of using an anchor to the beginning of the string, followed by any amount of random stuff, makes no sense to me. Better to leave that off entirely (don't put /^.*(match)/, just put /(match)/.

I think if you want \ in the character set, you have to escape it with another \

I am not sure about that. It is perfectly allowed to use a ~~character class~~ Perl short-cut within brackets I get the same results, but I wonder where that is documented ... (Some doc searching and a short meeting later ...) It's hidden in perlrecharclass: You can put any backslash sequence character class (with the exception of `\N` and `\R`) inside a bracketed character class, and it will act just as if you had put all characters matched by the backslash sequence inside the character class. For instance, `[a-f\d]` matches any decimal digit, or any of the lowercase letters between 'a' and 'f' inclusive. [...] Examples: `/[\p{Thai}\d]/ # Matches a character that is either a Thai # character, or a digit. /[^\p{Arabic}()]/ # Matches a character that is neither an Arabic # character, nor a parenthesis.` [download] So I stand corrected. `[\d]` means the same as `[0-9]` `[\w]` would mean same as `[a-zA-Z0-9_]` Well, that's only true if you ignore Unicode. perlre points to perlunicode, which has this nice short explaination: `\p{Word}` This is the same as `\w`, including over 100_000 characters beyond ASCII.

Well, that's only true if you ignore Unicode. Indeed. That's why we have the `/a` and `/aa` modifiers. 🦛	[reply] [d/l] [select]
