Re: Multiple Search and Replaces on one file

output:

dumpop.pl had compilation errors.

so...

use strict;
use warnings;

and then there's your match

m/(.+.WARNING)(.+)/g
[download]

which has me scratching my head in bewilderment. Could this be what you meant?

m/(?:.+)(?=WARNING)WARNING\s(.+)
[download]

(in which case $1 is the capture.)

and then there's your match m/(.+.WARNING)(.+)/g I arrived at this via trial and error. First, I tried \w, but there are spaces. I then went to ".", but had to add the greedy +. So, I'm up to `m/(.+WARNING)...` [download] It still didn't match, so I added the second "." to get what you see. The parens are there to grab only what's after WARNING, regardless of what it is, hence (.+). monger Monger +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Munging Perl on the side	[reply] [d/l]

monger: You said you don't want the first set of date/time info, nor the "WARNING" ... so why capture them at all? Use non_captureing parens, `(:...)` for that which you are using merely as a marker for the string you want. ~~Please read the two items surrounding kaif's question...~~ (Aargh; seem to have sent reply to kaif's to bitbucket, so repeating below) and more particularly (or, at least, even more diligently) the suggestions from holli, et al. Update: `(?=WARNING)` is a lookahead (aka lookaround), which matches at the POSITION or "location" before "WARNING" (ie, uses "WARNING" as a marker to delimit the prior part(s) of the regex; you can think of this as a way to limit greediness, tho that's very sloppy language) but... does not capture "WARNING"! so... the second "WARNING" in the regex matches the word itself which therefore gets included (along with the trailing \s, space) in the NON_capture, `(?:...)` HTH	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`m/(?:.+)(?=WARNING)WARNING\s(.+)` Out of curiosity, why the double `WARNING`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
