Re^2: Help with my regex

I'm not sure how to get "Power State" only without also grabbing "Supported Power State" since they both have the same string in them. I just need the shorter one.

`m/^Power State:/` [download] The ^ is an anchor to 'beginning of line'.	[reply] [d/l]

The match in that code above grabs everything up to the first colon. Which means it will get "Supported Power State" on that line, which will then not exist in the hash of things you want. Later it will get "Power State" on the shorter line, and that will exist in the hash of things you want.	[reply]
