The quantifier actually makes it match every group; however, it only stores the last match in $1, and thus that's what you see in your return. See Extracting matches in perlretut.

If you want to extract an arbitrary number of digits sandwiched between decimal points, you can grab them all, and then split the result.

/((?:\d+\.)+)/g; split /(?<=\.)/, $1;
Alternatively,
[i]n list context, //g returns a list of matched groupings, or if there are no groupings, a list of matches to the whole regexp
(see Global matching in perlretut) so you could try
my @res = /(?<=\.)\d+\./g;

#11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
