regular expression issueby data67 (Monk) |

data67 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey all, I have been trying to come up with a regular expression that can detect a name in a flat-file database. The flatfile has some info. lets say for example i got a flat-file for a Dentist office and i want to add
a new patient to this file if he is not present. simple enough right! But wait, i got patients that share parts of a name.
Example:
You see i need to come up with somewhat of a smarter regex that can go do this.
Now one thing that i forgot to mention in the scenerio is that the flat-file has different doctors.
