Getting part of this string... Can't Post
Hi,
Reading lines in a file I might come across this (this is the whole line):

10.10.10 ETI301S Intermediate file < 1>- Opened.

I want to get the FHI301S section out. Up until 'Intermediate...' part the lengths and format are fixed
e.g. nn.nn.nn<space>ABC123S

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I've tried several things but got nowhere.

TIA
Dan

Try this:
Code
  
 
my $s = q/10.10.10 ETI301S Intermediate file < 1>- Opened./; 
$s =~ /\d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d\s+([\w\d]+)\s+/; 
print "RESULT: $1\n";

Hope this helps...

Hi Jean,

>>$s =~ /\d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d\s+([\w\d]+)\s+/; print "RESULT: $1\n";<<

\w actually includes digits so \w\d can be changed to just \w

I have always thought that \w was equivalent of [A-Za-z_] ...
Thanks for the update :-)

I believe there is currently no way to only match letters without using the [a-z] character class, as \w includes digits and _ and \d is only digits.

Its quicker to type [a-z] Angelic but thanks for setting me straight.

Ah, but [a-z] doesn't deal with locales and unicode - this may or may not be important to you :)
