G'day Nansh,

Welcome to the Monastery.

As already pointed out by others, this is a poorly presented question. Without knowing what regex you've used, or what output your current code produces, it's impossible to say, with any certainty, why you're not getting the output you want. Please read "How do I post a question effectively?" before posting again.

As a complete guess, given you need parentheses to capture text that, itself, includes parentheses, you may not have escaped parentheses correctly (see perlre):

$ perl -E 'say +("X(a,b,c)" =~ /X(\([^)]+\))/)[0]' (a,b,c)

Also consider stepping through your matching code with Regexp::Debugger.

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;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
