Re: Word Count and Match

I see:

Partial code that no one can test.
No input data.
No output data.
Useless error reports: "some weird happenings" and "it did nothing".

I think you've been here long enough (17 years and 210 posts) to know better.

My best guesses:

Use Text::CSV to extract data. It'll run faster if you also have Text::CSV_XS installed.
Remove duplicates from your regex alternation.
Apply boundary assertions to your regex.
Remove the 'i' modifier from your regex.

Kindly read "How do I post a question effectively?" before posting again. Follow what it says if you do post again. You'll probably get better answers if you include an SSCCE.

++ I'm impressed that you could be bothered to go back through eight years of his posts to find that. It's pretty much the same code: `railcar` is now `word` (or `name` in later posting); and `Boxcar` is now `Bob` (or `David` in the same later posting) and so on. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's why I never cheat by super searching something like text="Word count" & author="Pilotincontrol" ... ;) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]
