What exactly are you trying to do and what values are you using for your test? -----Original Message----- From: kapil.V [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 September 2007 07:06 To: beginners@perl.org Subject: Help with data returned by regex match
Hi, #!/usr/bin/perl -w my $path = shift; my $machine = shift; my (undef,$country, $property) = split /\//,$path; my $xmlData = qx!./pindown. php $machine!; my @contacts = $xmlData =~ /property name=\"$property\ " country=\"$country\ ">.+?<contact type=\"admin\ ">.+?<\/contact> /is; #print "$&\n"; print @contacts; This prints "1" But printing $& prints a block of XML. Why does the array contacts not contain the pattern matched?(Also tried assigning the matched pattern to a scalar.)
