I need to match 
Showing Results <b>1 thru 4</b> of 
                      4

Which is taken from $lycos_content ($content is the source code dump of the page as taken from LWP::UserAgent).

The numbers will always be different. It could be 1 thru 7 of 7. But the results, if large, may have some number separators I have to watch out for, too.

From my count, there are 7 tabs after the URL and one space after that before the "1 of" begins. I need to match the total number in $1.

This is my attempt but sadly it fails 

$lycos_content =~ |Showing Results <b>\d thru \d</b> of\s*\t* (\d[\d,]
+*)|s;
my $lycos_results = $1;


if (!defined $lycos_results)
{
   $lycos_results=0;
}

If you want to see first hand what the results look like, try going to http://search.lycos.com/default.asp?loc=searchbox&query=linkdomain%3Awww.test.comv .

Thank you.
