in reply to Regular Exp. Problem!

Why are you using a regex? Why don't you use my @arr = split $test; That's what you're essentially doing in your regex, anyways.

You can then recombine certain portions, such as "Auto And Company", by pulling off the items you know should be in certain places, from the right side of the string, not the left.
