What a quick response. Thanks.
No problem.
I assume you mean do this? Am I right?
m/(\W+)$/ s/$1//;
No, I don't mean that. Perhaps I didn't understand what you needed. I thought you wanted to capture the characters after the words.
Are you trying to remove them instead? If so, use:
s/\W+$//
That would replace all non-word characters at the end of your string with nothing, deleting them.
If I'm still not getting it, try explaining your goal again.
