Cool!!!!
I got this from approximately 71% perldoc perlre:
print "5: got $1\n" if $x =~ /^(\D*)(?=\d)(?!123)/;
so I don't need "||" between multiple look ahead assertions...
Sometimes, it's more rewarding to solve you're problem on your own.
You just have to RTFM.. :-)
More power to this helpful commmunity!!

Subject: Alternative lookaheads in substitution, is it possible?
Hi,
Suppose I want to match all white spaces if it is followed by "\w+=" or not
followed by "date or time"
:
$_ =~ s(/\s+(?=\w+=)/ || /\s+(?!(date|time)))/*/g;
Doesn't seem to do what I want.
Given a string:
"Jan 19 11:37:21 firewall date=2007-01-19 time=11:42:15 msg="User admin login"
I want it to produce something like:
"Jan*19*11:37:21*firewall date=2007-01-19 time=11:42:15*msg="User admin
login"*log=3
