But I am a new-bie to Perl. Can u give me a example for 'look-ahead' matches.
30 seconds on Google returned *lots* of documentation. Here's some of it:
<http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.4/pod/perlre.html> <http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/05/01/expressions.html> <http://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html>
If you *really* want to learn this stuff, get a copy of Jeffrey Friedl's _Mastering Regular Expressions_. It's a superb book that explains how
regexes work in a variety of languages, including Perl.
You should also get familiar with perldoc -- Perl's documentation system. You can look at a lot of perldoc documentation at perldoc.com, but this should also all exist on your computer as well. Try this:
perldoc perlre
Read over the documentation and let us know if you have more questions.
