Hi all,
I've been tring to find a way to detect "partial/wobbly" regexp matches i.e. given a string of charaters, return all matches to a regexp, with maximum of 2 failures/mismatches.
Example:
$str = "PolarBear";
$str =~ /polarbear/; #returns 2, and/or [0,5] for positions
^ ^
$str =~ /Polerbear/; #returns 2, and/or [3,5] for positions
^ ^
$str =~ /Polarbeer/; #returns 3, and/or [5,7] for positions
^ ^
How would I go about, or is it even possible, to return the number of times the reg-exp fails and/or list the positions in the string.
Thanks.
P.S. I’ve looked at node id=74651, but is this what I am looking for.... is it stable?

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).
