This is probably pretty easy, but I can't get it to work:

I want a regexp to grab everything withing a string between "For" and "In", such that this string:

Zelazowa Wola, Symphonic Poem, For Orchestra In B Minor, Op. 37

would return:
For Orchestra

Se puede? (Thanks!)
Ideally, I could keep the "In " in the original string ($work), but I can re-add it if that's not possible using the method I've already started with.


    if ( $work =~ /(For #DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE )/ )
    {
        $instruments = $1;
        $instruments =~ s/[()]//g; #remove extra parentheses
        $work =~ s/$instruments//g; #remove instruments
        $instruments =~ s/^\s+//; #remove leading spaces
        $instruments = substr($instruments, 4, 100);   
           #last line removes the substring "For "
    }
