Re^6: How can I expand my substring?

Hi there!
I was wondering, how can we modify the regexp so as the "expansion" of the BBB label is done for a maximum of 200 positions to the left and to the right (and not till we reach the N label)?

You could play around with the `length $1` expression and try to limit that, but I'm not sure what corner cases would be relevant. See perlop on how `s///e` works.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks again, is it possible to break your code down a bit? Like in using more lines I mean, so I can then use and `if` clause in limiting the `length $1` as you suggest...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
