    Thanks works well, but is only catching the last occurrence... meaning it only matches the role name, not the group name too. Need it to match both and ignore anything else so that I can update the DBI hashref with this info.

      Are you running the code I posted ?. If not can you please post the string that is not working so I can replicate the error.

        Yes, I'm using your code. like i said it works, but $2 only has the role name, not the group name. ideally I'd like $2 to have the group name and $3 to have the role name.

        I updated the original post. The string gets messed up when you post it with < code > tags.

        my $string ="Group: Group Name▼▼Role: Role Name"

        Thanks!
