Hello monks,
I'm trying to extract the text between the slashes just before the end of the text foo.

C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/Bomb_USR/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/Bomb_MOT/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/Bay_Accelar/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/BayStackHub/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/Ascend_4000/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/Aironet/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/ADC_Cuda/foo
C:/WINDOWS/TEST/Vendor/3ComTokenRing/foo
[download]

So I'm using this code to try and extract the following list:


Bomb_USR
Bomb_MOT
Bay_Accelar
BayStackHub
Ascend_4000
Aironet
ADC_Cuda
3ComTokenRing

foreach (@FILES) {
    if m[\/\w+foo\$] {
        $_ =~ s/foo//;
        push @array, $_;
    }
}
print "$_\n" for @array;

What am I doing wrong?

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.
