in reply to Non-exclusive or in regexp?
$dr = qr/(?:dr\.|doctor)/; $gn = qr/(?:condoleeza)/; $sn = qr/(?:rice)/; / $dr \s+ $sn | $dr \s+ $gn \s+ $sn | $gn \s+ $sn /x
which can be simplified to:
$dr = qr/(?:dr\.|doctor)/; $gn = qr/(?:condoleeza)/; $sn = qr/(?:rice)/; /(?:$dr (?:\s+ $gn)? | $gn) \s+ $sn/x
Don't forget to escape the . in dr. to dr\.!
