Hi hv, Yes, you stated it quite well, that's what I meant to say but was sloppy in using the phrase "that point in the regex" instead of "that point in the string". Thanks for the correction. And you have also confirmed what I suspected was the problem, that because the effect of the /?!.*batch/ was over the entire string rather than the part of the string to which the parenthesized expression applied (such as (?i) for temporarily matching case insensitively) the expression as a whole contained a contradiction and the whole would never match. -fireblood

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.
