Hello!
%
% I want to check if in a string there are more than 3 capital letters.
% I've tried using:
%
% if ($string=~ /[A-Z]{3,}/) {
...
%
% For example, I want to match this string: "AxxxBxxxCxxx".
That's not so bad:
[zero] [9:59pm] ~> echo "xxAyyBzzCnn" | \
perl -e 'while (<>) { print "GOTIT\n" if /[A-Z].*[A-Z].*[A-Z]/ }'
GOTIT
(One of the few times you'll see me use "<action> if <condition>".)

% Thank you for any tips.
HTH & HAND
