Re: Regexpression is not matching

This works for me, making me wonder if there's a typo or variance between spaces and tabs, or somesuch in your problem statement or if the dot at the end of your sample data line is somehow included in your code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.016;
# 1037230

my $string = "      Code (inc. data)   RO Data    RW Data    ZI Data  
+    Debug   Object Name\n";        # no trailing full stop/dot/period

if ( $string =~m#      Code \(inc\. data\)   RO Data    RW Data    ZI 
+Data      Debug   Object Name#) {
    say "Good to go";
}

That which looks like a space above, is.

If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!

I just have had a look, it was a missing space between `ZI Data` and `Debug`. Guess i need new glasses ;-) Best regards! Tobias	[reply] [d/l] [select]

For me too.... `perl -e 'my $val=" Code (inc. data) RO Data RW Data ZI Da +ta Debug Object Name\n"; print "Yes" if $val =~ m# Code \ +(inc\. data\) RO Data RW Data ZI Data Debug Object Nam +e#;'` [download] Yes Might be some space or chomp issue I belive	[reply] [d/l]
