avoiding greedy match..

[Huseyin Tac]

BlankHi everyone,

    I need some help for preventing greedy match..I want to get rid of the
words in paranthesis in the below text. When i use the code below i loose '
john '  because it matches the last ' )' after recovery.. Is there a easy
way to avoid this?..


$target='micheal (fields) john (recovery)';

$target=~s/\(.+\)/ /gi;

print $target;

output : micheal
