Wow, very nice. I'm going to play around with that one for a bit. I just started learning regex's in depth, so this is a great tool. I have one I constructed as well, which might be useful, if just a simple match test is your aim:

#!usr/bin/perl

$my_string = "";
$my_regx = "";

 # This program tests regular expressions against a match.

 if ($my_string =~ /$my_regx/x) 

    print "Matched: "  . "\"" .  $&  . "\"" . "\n";       # print matc
+h
    print "Before match: "  . "\"" .  $`  . "\"" .  "\n"; # print data
+ before match
    print "After match: " . "\"" . $' . "\"" . "\n";      # print data
+ after match

}else {
    # do nothing
} # end if
    
  print "Rockstar Programming Inc. All Rights Reserved\n";

So, now I have yours to explore with and maybe my much simpler "matcher" could possibly be of use to you :)

• 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).
