Re^3: Regex Help

then change this print $1,$/ if/(\D+?)\d+?/;
to
this print $1,$/ if/(.+?)\s+?\d+?/;

UPDATE:
In case, you have all these data in the same file you can try this:

use strict;
use warnings;


while(<DATA>){
  chomp;
  print $1,$/ if/(.+?)(\s+)?\d+?$/;
}

__DATA__
piratesofcareebian100
pirates of careebian100
pirates of careebian 100
pirates1 of careebian 100
pirates2 of careebian 100
pirates3 of careebian 100
[download]

Output

piratesofcareebian
pirates of careebian
pirates of careebian
pirates1 of careebian
pirates2 of careebian
pirates3 of careebian
[download]

Please, check the reference I mentioned in my first post on this thread.
Hope that helps

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

How about "everything from pirates to careebian" ? But what about if the wording of the OP changes? Then your solution would no longer be useful.	[reply]
