You have asked the same already here some time ago, and received an answer:

http://perlguru.com/gforum.cgi?post=57373

Do you want me to copy and paste that answer for your new posting, or are you able to do this by yourself?

??? What kind of regression (???) do you want to do?

In your original posting, you wrote:

So, first you had said you looking for a solution WITHOUT while-loop. Now you say, you are looking for a solution WITH while-loop. How about making up your mind what kind of solution you are looking for?

Sorry, I fail to understand this sentence. Maybe you can rephrase it?

Also, you need to define first what is a "word". Is it a set of lower and upper case letters? What about accented letters or letters in Japanese Alphabet? Is it maybe a set of everything but space? Is it a set of everything but white space?

Re: [harshmane] store each word of string [In reply to] Can't Post
This means, the input can NOT look like this:

Code
abCD EFG  hIJkL
because there would be one space, not two, and the input can also NOT look like this:

Code
abc   def  gh
(3 spaces separating), neither can it be

Code
abc!  defG
Is this correct?

So the next question is: Do you have to provide error checking (if the input does not meet these requirements), or can you silently assume that the input has the correct format?

all your inputs are eligible . no matter whether there are 1 space or 2 space or any special character is also there.

Sorry, but you are contradicting yourself:

In your earlier post, you wrote

Quote

but now you are writing:
Quote

You need to make up your mind, what of those you want. Unless you have specified your problem, you can not implement it.

\s can also be a newline.

You have not responded to my question in my previous posting.

Note: Unless you don't explain which problem you need to solve, it is futile to develop ideas; and as long as you contradict yourself when stating the problem, your task is not explained yet....

Code
use strict; 
use warnings; 
 
 
$xyz= "hello hi friend do you want some help."; 
 
$xyz=~m/(\s|\S+)/; 
print  "$1 \n"; #print hello 
 
$xyz=~m/(\s)(\S+)/; 
print "$2 \n"; #print hi 
 
 
   $xyz=~/((\s)(\S+)){2}/; 
  print  " $1\n"; #print friend

This script doesn't compile without giving warnings, so I suggest correcting these warnings.

Aside of this, it is a nice script, but you still didn't answer my recent questions.
