in reply to Regular Exp. Problem!

You are matching $d_log, not $test, and are missing a brace:
my $d_log = "Auto And Company 57 DI 13 FA 13 FAI 4 Login 23 Not Found +4"; if( $d_log =~ /^ (.*?)\s (\d+)\s (\w+)\s (\d+)\s (\w+)\s (\d+)\s (\w+)\s (\d+)\s (\w+)\s (\d+)\s (\w+)\s (\w+)\s (\d+) $ /x) { print $1; }
Consider using the //x modifier for long complex regexps; it really helps readability.
