Re: Extracting sometimes null string from text variable

Maybe I'm not understanding your problem, but I'd try

/Club:\s*(.*?)\s*$/

(untested)

Since you're parsing multiple lines you might need a modifier like m or s.

(Can't remember which one is which)

The `\s` can eat newlines, so the `.*` gets stuff from the next line. Try `\h` (horizontal space) instead.	[reply]

> Try \h (horizontal space) instead. Indeed a solution with \h is much easier! `use strict; use warnings; my $case1 = "Club: Some Club Comments: "; my $case2 = "Club: Comments: "; for ($case1,$case2){ /(Club:)\h(.?)\h*\n/; print "<$2>\n"; }` [download] `<Some Club> <>` [download] Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
