Re^2: Help please?

So I tried :

perl -ne "print qq/$1 $2 $3\n/ if (/Turn.*?speaker=(\S+)\s+startTime=(+\S+)\s+endTime=(\S+)/)" input_file > toto.xxx

And it tells me :

c:\>perl -ne "print qq/$1 $2 $3\n/ if (/Turn.*?speaker=(\S+)\s+startTi
+me=(+\S+)\
s+endTime=(\S+)/)" C1_A1_1a.trs > toto.xxx
Quantifier follows nothing in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/Turn.*?sp
+eaker=(\S+
)\s+startTime=(+ <-- HERE \S+)\s+endTime=(\S+)/ at -e line 1.

The file toto.xxx is created, but empty. I hardly understand what I am doing but I am in an effort to.

I observe that your copy/paste skills and/or typing skills have come up short. There's a stray `+` in `(+\S+)` (i.e., the first one.) The error message even points it out for you :) -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l] [select]

OK ,I could have done that better... but understand me, when you look at this all for the first time, even reading is challenging. Anyway, I thank you all very much, it works flawlessly now. I will probably come back soon to annoy you again. Cheers monks!	[reply]
