pattern matching Can't Post
hello,

$string = '<start "some string" "other string" " ">';

$string =~ /<start(\".*\").*>/;

when i'm doing this $1 is equal to "some string" "other string" " "

but I want to extract only "some string".

Can you help me?
Thank you

Code
$string =~ /<start (".*?")/g;
Use .*? instead of .* so the regex is non-greedy.
