Please excuse my total ignorance, I'm a complete newbie to Perl </grovel>

I'm trying to parse a text file for several possible strings of text - if none of the stings are present on a line, I want the string output to another file.

Here's the output of the text file: 

wwwroot\development\images\_notes\homepage_area_68_f4.jpg.mno    Every
+one                                    R X       
wwwroot\development\images\_notes\homepage_area_68_f4.jpg.mno    Domai
+n\Webmins                             RWXD      
wwwroot\development\images\_notes\homepage_area_68_f4.jpg.mno    Domai
+n\Domain Admins                       all       
wwwroot\development\images\_notes\homepage_area_68_f4.jpg.mno    Domai
+n\user              o

If a line contains eg. "Domain Admins all" or "Webmins all", I don't want it output to other file.

I'm trying this regexp: 

while (<PERMSFILE>) {
    if ($_ !~ /Everyone +\t +R X/g | 
        /Webmins +\t +all/g |
        /Domain Admins +\t +all/g |  
        / o /g) {
            print SHORTPERMS $_;
        }

Which doesn't work - the only of the above text which should be output into the new file is the one containing "Webmins RXWD". The " +\t +" is because \s doesn't appear to work for the whitespace.

Edit by tye, change PRE to CODE around long lines
