Hi,
I need to capture whole text after "#" character in each line from a
file.The below script is not working can any one suggest the correct
thing plz..
Your regexp:
if ($line1 =~ /^#\(.*\)/)
matches any string that:
begins with '#'
followed by a literal '('
followed by zero or more of any character
followed by a literal ')'
From your description above, you want something like:
/#(.*)$/
which captures anything following a '#' up to the end of the string.
