Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi Monks,
I am eternally humbled by how little I know of perl and regular expressions.
How can I match variable length data between /FIRST/ .. /LAST/ (without including FIRST and LAST. Also what is the difference between ".." and "..."?
I'm trying to do this:
if( @test = ($_ =~ /\d+\s/i ... /\sseconds/i) ) print "Test Data: @test\n";
__Input__ 192.168.1.1 seconds 192.168.1.1 links.html links, index.html index 10 seconds 192.168.1.1 article1.html art1, article2.html art2, adpage 200 second +s But my output is only: __DESIRED_OUTPUT__ Test Data: index.html index 5 Test Data: links.html links, index.html index 10 Test Data: article1.html art1, article2.html art2, adpage 200 __REAL_OUTPUT___ Test Data: 0 Test Data: 0 Test Data: 0
