Hi,
Here is a code that does what you want and it works if the name has more
than 2 names. I've tried an example with a First name, a last name and a
middle name but it works for more names also.
my $name = "Sarah Mohrley Washington";
my @initials = map /^(\w)/, split /\s+/, $name;
print "@initia
tries
print "Doh!";
exit;
}

how its possible to grasp only initials for First and Last name i.e $name ="SD"??
Depends on how standardized your data is, something simple like this
should work for the above:
my $name = 'SARA DEILEY';
my $initials;
if ($name =~ /^(\w)\w*\s+(\w)\w*/) {
Alex,
Did you get the problem fixed? Yes it was because you did not escape your . when
you wanted a .
instead of an any character.
..[a-zA-Z]{2,3} will match ".abc", but it will also match "abcd" but \.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}
will require
that the first character this part of the regular expression

Hi Troy,
I don't understand your regex. I think the following should work fine:
$message =~ s/(;-\)|;\))//g;
