Re: regex problem

It is unclear what you are looking for. Are you looking for .jpg files under http://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/ that do not have png in their names?

If indeed you are looking for .jpg files under http://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/ that do not have png in their names, it might be easiest to just get rid of your lookaheads and lookbehinds `my @urls=$response_body =~ m{(http://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/.+?\.jpg)}gi;` and then add another line to get rid of the lines in the just created @urls that have png in them. Writing regexes that must match one thing but cannot match another are prone to caveats or are not blazingly intuitive.	[reply] [d/l]
