Re: partial results in $1 $2 after re failure

in reply to partial results in $1 $2 after re failure

'-' does not match \w.

Update: AM, you're absolutely right, I missed the point. I get the same results. I suspect that the content of the loop is acting as one dynamic scope, but I have no idea why $1, $2 are losing string length information. Seems like a perl bug to me.

'-' does not match \w. Exactly, the failure of the second line is intentional in order to show that partial previous results for $1 and $2 were still printed. Shouldn't the output for the failing line have been either `<><>` or `<abc><def>`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
