I am trying to retrieve a word, and the surrounding text in a file. For
example, read through a file for $word, and when matched, place in a variable
the matching word, along with the 10 words preceding it and trailing it, and
have it work over multi
Jim,
You could start by defining what a word is, using some regex:
$wordRegex = qr/... something here .../;
Then build up from there:
($match) = $input =~ /($wordRegex{10}\s$word\s$wordRegex{10})/;
Just an idea.
