( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

G'day Nansh,

Welcome to the Monastery.

As already pointed out by others, this is a poorly presented question. Without knowing what regex you've used, or what output your current code produces, it's impossible to say, with any certainty, why you're not getting the output you want. Please read "How do I post a question effectively?" before posting again.

As a complete guess, given you need parentheses to capture text that, itself, includes parentheses, you may not have escaped parentheses correctly (see perlre):

$ perl -E 'say +("X(a,b,c)" =~ /X(\([^)]+\))/)[0]' (a,b,c)

Also consider stepping through your matching code with Regexp::Debugger.

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.
