Re: Simple regrep question

Depending on how your URLs are structured, maybe the following will also suffice:

m!\b(http://.*?\.mp3)\b!
[download]

But that would also capture sequences of URLs like

http://example.com/ this is some text about my .mp3 files.
[download]

Easily fixed by excluding whitespace:

#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;

for ('Look here: http://example1.com/cool.mp3 for a great listen!',
     'http://example.com/ this is some text about my .mp3 files.')
{
    print "Match: $1\n" if m!\b(http://\S*?\.mp3)\b!;
}
[download]

Output:

18:26 >perl 1664_SoPW.pl
Match: http://example1.com/cool.mp3

18:26 >
[download]

Hope that helps,
