#!/usr/bin/perl
@filename = `ls | grep "^regex\.[0-9]"`;
print @filename;
...
prints regex.1. I need it to print regex and regex.1:
#!/usr/bin/perl
@filename = `ls | grep "^regex\.?[0-9]"`;
print @filename;
Doesnt print anything.
Shouldnt the ? match the . zero or more times? If so why doesnt it print regex and regex.1 As for the .abc I need that to be excluded when it greps. So regex.abc and regex.xyz wont print.
Thank you for the help so far, I am still stuck on making this work. I will continue to try to make this work, if anyone could assist further I would be very thankful.

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).
