Re^3: words with numbers in them

No need to split and grep, just simplify your regex :)

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $names = '1Petrus2 Joh4an Smit 2johnny99 Julius 789
  one 2two three3 fo44ur ..5.. six seven, seven7, eight--8--nine ';

while( $names =~ /(\S*\d\S*)/g )
  {
  print "$1\n";
  }

I am trying to understand your regex, but i cannot understand why it is : `$names =~ /(\S\d\S)/g )` [download] in stead of: `$names =~ /(\S\d+\S)/g` [download] So i changed it and it seems this also works, so which is it?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Either, because anything matched by \d will also be matched by \S	[reply]
