Re^3: Regex lookahead, lookbehind

I don't understand your requirements. It now seems to me none of the examples is correct, as TEST and TEST_test don't contain at least one digit, and TEST-1 doesn't contain at least one underscore. Changing the dash to underscore in the last makes it pass:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

while (<DATA>) {
    if (my ($alnum, $constrained)
        = /^foo          # "foo"
           _             # followed by "underscore"
           (?:bar|test)  # followed by "bar|test" (bar or test)
           _             # followed by "underscore"

           ((?:\w+\.)+?) # followed by alhpnum string with
                         # dot at end (like foo10.1.1.1)

           \1?           # followed by one or zero occurences
                         # of same alhpnum string (like
                         # foo10.1.1.1) followed by dot

           (\w{1,10})    # followed by 1-10 characters,
                         # containing at least one digit and
                         # one letter and underscore (e.g.
                         # TEST_test, TEST_test2,
                         # TEST1_test2)

           \.txt$        # ends with .txt
          /x) {

        print "<$alnum | $constrained> $. ok\n"
            if 3 == grep $constrained =~ $_,
                qr/_/, qr/\d/, qr/[[:alpha:]]/;
    }
}
__DATA__
foo_bar_foo10.1.1.1.TEST.txt
foo_test_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.TEST_test.txt
foo_test_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.txt
foo_test_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.TEST-1.txt
foo_test_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.TEST_1.txt

Note that I changed the quantifier in the first capturing group to frugal to avoid matching both occurrences of $alnum as one without repetition. Nevertheless, in the third case, the whole substring foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1. corresponds to $alnum, it's not repeated, and $constrained is just 1 .

Hi choroba ... sorry for the confusion with the post. below is what I am doing. `foo_bar_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.txt foo_bar_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.FOO-1.txt foo_bar_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.test_FOO1.txt foo_bar_foo10.1.1.1.foo10.1.1.1.test_FOO_abc_mon.txt` [download] Above are the files which I need to query with regular expression. Out of which I need to pick only file2, file3, file4 and move them to some other directory. file1 should remain untouched. Similarly sometime another set of files is as below `foo_foo_foo10.1.1.1.TEST.failed foo_foo_foo10.1.1.1.test_FOO1.failed` [download] Out of which I need to pick only file2 and move them to some other directory. file1 should remain untouched. As of now I have separte regex to filter and picking the desired files with grep -v. Thanks	[reply] [d/l] [select]

> Out of which I need to pick only file2, file3, file4 But why? Do you just want to skip the shortest name? If so, use length instead of a regex. Otherwise, try to explain how you select the files to stay or move.
