I am trying to fetch whatever is located where the number "113" is located. The number could be "145" or "345" or any three digit number. The number always changes so I am writing a script to notify me of the new number it changed to. It will always be 3 numbers and I just need to fetch the number. My problem is trying to make a reg expression to fetch the three digit number along with the unique part (which is on the next line):
<A HREF="JavaScript:AFunction('AA', 'B','0','Project','113')"> San Francisco (Manager)
There are many lines like this and the unique part is on the second line. In this case it is:
San Francisco (Manager).
<A HREF="JavaScript:AFunction('AA', 'B','0','Project','113')"> San Francisco (Manager) <A HREF="JavaScript:AFunction('AA', 'B','0','Project','680')"> Los Angeles (Worker) <A HREF="JavaScript:AFunction('AA', 'B','0','Project','456')"> San Jose (People)
Here is my attempt at it but having a problem fetching this number because I dont know how to handle the "San Francisco (Manager)" part which does not work in my attempt below:
my ($number) =~ /'(\d{3})'\)">San Francisco (Manager)/; print "$number";
