Yes, I was trying to extract a string from a textfile, but couldn't parse it correctly. Here is part of the file:
ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generall +y accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related fina +ncial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolida +ted financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all materia +l respects, the information set forth therein. Melville, New York /s/KPMG LLP September 26, 2001
Here is my regex:
/^\s*(\w+),\s*(\w+ \w+)(.+?\s*LLP)$/m;

I wanted to extract: Melville, New York, /s/KPMG LLP

Any suggestions?
