Hi All,
Hello,
I have to match patterns of the format
string1>string2
where the strings 1 & 2 can contain alphabets,numbers and spaces. The
string are separated by '>' sign. I wrote the following code for this.
if(/([a-z]*[A-Z]*[0-9]*[\s]*)>([a-z]*[A-Z]*[\s]*[0-9]*)/g) {
$string1 = $1;
$string2 = $2;
}
This picks up only the first character in string 2 whereas I want
everything till the end of the $_ to be in the string. $_ is terminated
by \n.
I cannot understand what I am missing in the regular expression.
my ( $string1, $string2 ) = /^([[:alnum:][:blank:]]*)>([[:alnum:][:blank:]]*)$/
