Re^2: Perl will not match my RegEx pattern....

I suspect the data as well, but I'm not sure what can be done to clean it up with out altering the actual data. Chomp has had not change on operation either. Perhaps I need to convert it to a quoted word for RegEx to work?

my $acopy = qw($SeatLoc);

I'm somewhere between novice & intermediate in my experience and not immune to the 'obvious' mistake. ;-)

`qw` does not interpolate variables. This statement is equivalent to `my $acopy = '$SeatLoc';` [download] Note the single quotes. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Perhaps I need to convert it to a quoted word for RegEx to work? Blindly converting something that's already a string to a string is unlikely to help. You already know that the regex you provided works for the sample strings you provided. Find out what your data really looks like!	[reply]
