Re: Regexp for alphabetical order match within the string

in reply to Regexp for alphabetical order match within the string

You might want to at least make that easier to generate, and anchor the regex (otherwise you'll always get a match):

my $str = join '', map "$_*", "a".."z";
my $re = qr/^$str$/;
print "Matches\n" if "abc" =~ $re;
print "Doesn't match\n" unless "zbc" =~ $re;
