Hello Monks,

I have strings in an array "@col" in all elements of this array there is one operator like "." or "+". Which is already stored in "$operator".

What i want is string on left & right side of the operator in each element of the array.

My code is like 
foreach(@col){
        my $celldata=$_;
        $celldata=~s/<(set|x)?aln;(.*?)>//g;
        $celldata=~s/<(rct|rrt|rlt)?;(.*?)>//g;
        $celldata=~s/(<T(?:r|c)>)//g;
        #print "$celldata\n";
        if($celldata=~m{(.+?)$operator(.*)}){
            
            $left_str=$1;
            $right_str=$2;              print "$left_str === $operator
+ === $right_str\n";
}
}

Suppose @col contains elements like "2.2", "3.2", "1.3", "11.5" etc.. when i print left and right string for "11.5" it gives output as "1===.===.5". However I want "11===.===5"". I dont know what is wrong with the perticular pattern.

Can anybody please help me?

Thank you.
