hi,
The file I'm working on is just one big line. There are multiple occurrences of the pattern I'm looking for in this single line. The regex I currently have only shows the last occurrence 80 times? I'm not seeing what I should change.

Patter is a few letters [a-zA-Z] after "photo/" followed by a dot and three [a-z]. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $count = 1;
open( FILE, $ARGV[0] );
while ( my $w = <FILE> ) {
    foreach ( $w =~ m/photo\/([a-zA-Z]+\.[a-zA-Z]{3})/g ) {
        print "Photo: $count  $1\n";
        $count++;
    }
}
$count = $count - 1;
print "\nI counted $count image-files\n";
