I would like single regex as, as was pointed out, the double regex is wasteful since the matching has to be done twice. Also I think it would be better from readability point of view :).

However you example 1 while s/(?<=\+)([0-9]+)[$bases]/$1 - 1/eg; doesn't quite work. I'm trying to remove all the numbers and the associated bases for it. Running yours left strange things in it (+-1 and +0 below).

..G..C...G.,,,...G,G,G...G,G...GG,.G.G...G.G.....G..G,........G....,GG
+GG.,,,..G...,,.G.G..G..G..G.G.GG..GG.G..,,G,

Edit: I think adding /c in the match pattern should fix the problem with my while and possibly the (??{...}) version as well?

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.
