Hello, Perl Users.
I have:
...
$string =<<'EOS';
Returns the offset of where the last m//g search left off for the variable in
question
($_ is used when the variable is not specified). Note that 0 is a valid match
offset,
while undef indicates that the search position is reset (usually due to match
failure,
but can also be because no match has yet been performed on the scalar). pos
directly
accesses the location used by the regexp engine to store the offset, so
assigning to pos
will change that offset, and so will also influence the \G zero-width assertion
in regular expressions.
Because a failed m//gc match doesn't reset the offset, the return from pos
won't change either in this case.
See the perlre manpage and the perlop manpage.
EOS
$string =~ /o.{2}(s)(et)/g;
...
this matches 5 times 'offset' word. I know - i counted ;) But there is a need
to get this fact in the programm. So far, i can do
@res = ($string =~ /o.{2}(s)(et)/g);
which gives me only captured subpatterns (as long as there are any),
or i can play with @+ @- with the same restriction - only captured items.
But i don't see the way to get all mathces (without having $string cycled).
Secong issue - to get them with their positions.
Thanks in advance,
Artem A. Avetisyan
