Folks, I have the following regex: $_ =~ /(Crosses)(.*)(misses=)(\d+)/s
It does what I need to do in terms of matching, but I also want to use the capture parenthesis. The data comes from tab-limited files and I use $4 to grab the last digits of the match, however it is also matching the trailing tab. I solved it by stripping of the tabs from the line, but I can figure out why (\d+) is also matching the tab! T. -- "Education is not to be used to promote obscurantism." - Theodonius Dobzhansky.
