I posted a similar question last week; this is a rephrasing.

I have the following strings:

 root    Wed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001     DLs
 root    Wed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001     ILs
 root    Wed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001     DL
 root    Wed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001     DL
 root    Wed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001     DL
 root    Wed Aug 22 04:44:59 2001     DL
 root    Wed Aug 22 04:46:37 2001     Is
 root    Wed Aug 22 11:46:38 2001     Ss
 root    Wed Aug 22 11:46:39 2001     Ss
 daemon  Wed Aug 22 11:46:40 2001     Is
 root    Wed Aug 22 11:46:41 2001     Is
 root    Wed Aug 22 11:46:41 2001     Ss
 root    Wed Aug 22 11:46:41 2001     Is
 root    Wed Aug 22 12:31:21 2001     Is
 postfix Wed Aug 22 12:31:21 2001     I
 root    Wed Aug 22 12:32:21 2001     Ss
 nobody  Wed Aug 22 12:32:21 2001     I
 nobody  Wed Aug 22 12:32:22 2001     I
 nobody  Wed Aug 22 12:32:22 2001     I
 nobody  Wed Aug 22 12:32:22 2001     I

I want three things:

user, the entire date, the state.

I'm currently trying to get this with:

for(@procs){
 /^(.{7})\s+?(.{24})\s+?(\S+?)$/;


I want $1 to be the user (e.g. 'root' 'postfix').
I want $2 to be something like 'Wed Aug 23 05:30:01 2001'.
I want $3 to be the state, which was a lot of forms, but which is, for
example 'DLs' above.

Shouldn't this get the first 7, then 24 characters, then the glop that's
left over?

What am I doing wrong?

-John
