G'day AskandLearn,

Welcome to the monastery.

Firstly, PerlMonks is not a code writing service. It's not OK to just post a "Requirement" and expect us to do your (home)work for you. This in explained in "How (Not) To Ask A Question" (see the Do Your Own Work section).

"Another Perl regex question ..."

This suggests you've previously asked such a question; however, this is your first post as AskandLearn. If you have other user accounts, please read "Site Rules Governing User Accounts" and follow the instructions therein.

"I tried few things, ..."

You need to show us: the guidelines in "How do I post a question effectively?" provide details.

Without knowing what you're having trouble with, it's difficult to formulate a response which helps you. Are you an absolute beginner? Do you have reasonable knowledge but have encountered some difficulty which is causing problems?

As an interim answer, search for "regular expression" in "the perl manpage", and follow whatever links seem most appropriate: there are several to be found in both the Tutorials and Reference sections (and more in the Internals section). perlre has an example of matching a double-quoted string which may help.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
