Parsing and \G and /g and Stupid User Tricks: Correction

Sorry... the m/\G.*MEH|MED|MMD|MMS|CR1|FR1/ig should read

m/\G.*[MEH|MED|MMD|MMS|CR1|FR1]/ig
[download]

Minor but.. it does affect things.

that should be: `m/\G.(MEH\|MED\|MMD\|MMS\|CR1\|FR1)/ig` [download] or `m/\G.(?:MEH\|MED\|MMD\|MMS\|CR1\|FR1)/ig` [download] if you don't want to capture it. just a minor point, but that could break the code. also, instead of iterating repeatedly with the loop to find pos(), you could set pos() to $currpos and work from there (you'd have to match two more times, i think). that'll make it a little faster. jeff	[reply] [d/l] [select]
Parsing and \G and /g and Stupid User Tricks:pos() = $currpos by THuG (Beadle) on Aug 08, 2000 at 20:04 UTC
I can set pos() to $currpos? Rock on! I knew there had to be a way to start from where I left off, and not the beginning of the file. -Travis	[reply]
