Hi,

I have a problem with this regex. It seems to keep the spaces when i thought the \s+ part would not catch them.

Hers the code: 

#! D:\perl\bin\perl
#
# CGI script to display the status of tcp/udp/raw connections on the s
+erver.
# Will give you a warning is there are any SYN'ers.

BEGIN
{
    use strict;
    print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n";
    use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
    use warnings;
}

&netstat('-an');

sub netstat
{
    my $args = shift;
    my $line;
    my @lines = `netstat $args`;
    print "$0: running \'netstat $args\'\n\n";
    my($prot,$laddr,$lport,$eaddr,$eport,$status,$syn);
    LOOP: foreach $line (@lines)
    {
        $_ = $line;
        next LOOP if /^Active Connections/;
        next LOOP if /^$/;
        next LOOP if /^\s+Proto/;
        if(/^\s+(.*)\s+(.*):(.*)\s+(.*):(.*)\s+(.*)/)
        {
            $prot   = $1;
            $laddr  = $2;
            $lport  = $3;
            $eaddr  = $4;
            $eport  = $5;
            $status = $6;
            $syn = 0;
            if($status =~ /syn/i) { $syn = $status; }
            print "\nwarning: $status! I think we're being SYN'ed\n\n"
+ if $syn;
            print "Local: $laddr:$lport - External: $eaddr:$eport - ",
+$syn || $status,"\n";

        }
    }
}
