Perl Pattern Matching !!! Help Can't Post
Hello

I got the below one from in one of this forums

For Ex: Loading File System Networking in nature

now i need to extract the patterns between the words File and Networking :

i.e. sample output: System

cmd used : cat <file> | sed 's/.*File //' | sed 's/Closing.*$//'


Actually i have the same criteria but i want to do it from a variable which has special characters ..

For Example :

$VAR=USING (FILE '/TEST1/FILENAME'5000)

From the above string i want to reterive the value between ' and ) in this case its 5000.

Any Suggestions will be helpful

Thanks

Rahul

The question will be what you know of the string you are searching in.

In the first case you could do someting like:

if($string =~ /File(.+)Networking/){

$new_string = $1 ;

}



in the last case, if you know FILENAME, and you know you are searching for digits, it could be:

if($VAR =~ /FILENAME\'(\d+)\)/){

print $1 ;

}
