I have an array called @remaining and a string called $righteq. I want to store any functions that are not + and -signs into the array. Also, the function e^(t plus or minus a number), otherwise known as "e\^\(t[\+-](\d+\.?\d*|\.\d+)\)" is a special case. I want to detect such a special case, and store it into the array.

$righteq examples:
+++-+++t^n+++f^n+e^(t-123.22)
or
t^n+--++-+f^n++e^(t-123.22)++
or
+++++---+t^n+f^n+++e^(t-123.22)-

After processing $righteq, the array looks like this:

$remaining[0] is "t^n"
$remaining[1] is "f^n"
$remaining[2] is "e^(t-123.22)"

• 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.
