hi monks i got problem with the following code

$w = "host, my-host-name   # My Host Name";
[download]

i want to parse the "my-host-name" in a single scalar variable how do i do it i tried it this way but it didnt work

($x) = $w =~ /^host,\s*(\w+)\s*/;
[download]

but the $x contained only "my". i know we can parse it like this

($x) = $w =~ /^host,\s*(\w+-\w+-\w+)\s*/;
[download]

but the problem is the name "my-host-name" is not always the same way it can also be "myname" or "my_host-name" etc
