Re: How do I match a string that is NOT at the end of a line?

in reply to How do I match a string that is NOT at the end of a line?

Use the dot metacharacter. eg:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More tests => 2;

ok ("bar foo" =~ /foo/, 'Foo matched at end');
ok ("bar foo" !~ /foo./, 'Foo not matched at end');
