Hi All,
I'm having trouble with this regular expression
I have data file with colon separated delimiters
The data below has 6 colon delimiters
I want to check to make sure that none of the lines of data has more or less
than 6 colons in it (EG: Lets say David enters his phone number as
9876:4342)
The rest of my file works ok, its just matching the 6 colons.
# File
David:smith:21 lake drv::98764342::
John:Jones:44 ratfink st:west mouseville:8432321::
##
I have tried this
if ($_ =~ m/:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:/) {
and
if ($_ = ~ m/:{6}/) {
Regards
Stuart Clark
