Re^3: Simple Regex drives me insane

I updated my last reply

But I think it might be better to step back and consider what you are trying to achieve.

If you can use code, that may be simpler:

my $in  = "foo";
my $out = $in =~ /#(.*)/ ? $1 : "";

I'm not the OP. The `.` should be `\S`, `\S+`, `\w`, `\w+` or something. It's unclear what should be used exactly, but `.` matches too much. The above also applies for the first `.` in your edited code. The second `.` in your edited code is useless. You could just leave it out.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
