in thread how to get output

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did change now but still it prints output as '1', if you see my print statement I want to get the output as ORA-12505 in this scenario, but still not getting it right.

#!/usr/bin/perl my $org = ""; $Ora_code = 'Failed tthe following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does + not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor'; print $Ora_code; if ( my ($out) = $Ora_code =~ /ORA\-\d{5}/) { print "inside\n"; print $out; } else { print "(no match)\n"; }

    As Util correctly mentioned, you need to enclose what you want captured within parentheses, so your regex should be:

    /(ORA\-\d{5})/
