Hi Monks,

I have a doubt on how to do a regex match only with alphanumeric. I am putting a scenario here pls help. 

 
$data_main = "The ideal Rack cleaning support candidate is dedicated t
+o providing outstanding customer service every day.

New Store Opening Promenade in Crocker Park Rack

Nordstrom Rack is a division of Nordstrom, a fashion specialty retaile
+r founded on a simple idea: offer customers the best possible service
+, quality, value and selection. We are looking for motivated people t
+o provide cleaning services to maintain a pleasant shopping environme
+nt for our customers.

+hion and accessories at fabulous values. When you work for Nordstrom 
+Rack, you'll enjoy flexible hours, a friendly atmosphere and competit
+ive pay and benefits. You'll also be a part of a team that is committ
+ed to supporting your career goals.

+e customers we serve, the merchandise we sell and the work we do!";


$out = $1 if ($data_main =~ /(NewStoreOpeningPromenadeinCrockerParkRac
+kNordstromRackisadivisionofNordstrom.*)/is);
print $out;
exit;

Desired Output
--------------

Basically, I only want to include the alphanumeric only to do the matching process, NO SPACES, NO NEW LINES etc.. How can I achieve it?

Thanks for your time.
