: Hi guys,
: Thanks for taking the time to help but when I have tried these two expressions :
: $pish =~ s/| (\w+)|$/$1/;
: $pish =~ s/\|\w+\|\+-+\+\| (\w+?)\|$/$1/;
: I get the exact same string in the variable. Any other ideas?
: Ta,
: Neil
Really? This the code I used to test it: Try this:
## reg.pl
$string = '|password|+----------+|rangers|';
$oldstring = $string;
$string =~ s/\|\w+\|\+-+\+\| (\w+?)\|$/$1/;
print $1 . "\n\n";
print "string is $oldstring\n";
print "Data is $string\n";
.. and the output I get when I run this:
rangers
string is |password|+----------+|rangers|
Data is rangers
So.... let's see your code?
Jason
