Re^2: PCRE: Repeating Subpattens After Intervening Characters

Oops. You're looking for PCREmonks, not Perlmonks.

Darn. I knew it was too easy to reply with:

my $regex = qr/(\d\s+foo)/;
$some_string =~ /$regex[^\r\n]*$regex/;

~~That doesn't capture properly. Fix:~~ `my $regex = qr/\d\s+foo/; $some_string =~ /($regex)[^\r\n]($regex)/;` [download] Also, your solution doesn't scale (if capturing is desired). He can't say, for example, the following while capturing what `$regexp` matches: `my $regex = qr/\d\s+foo/; $some_string =~ /(?:$regex[^\r\n])*($regex)/;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm confused -- in what sense doesn't it capture properly? `DB<1> $x = qr/(\d\s+foo)/; DB<2> $y = 'alpha beta 1 foo gamma delta 2 foo epsilon omega'; DB<3> @z = $y =~ /$x[^\r\n]*$x/; DB<4> x @z 0 '1 foo' 1 '2 foo' DB<5>` [download] However, I can vaguely see problems getting the capturing desired, if it isn't conveniently what happens when trying to scale. -QM -- Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of	[reply] [d/l]

hum, my test program must have been buggy. I stand corrected.	[reply]

Oh...I didn't realize PCREmonks existed. I'll go ask them. Thanks for being friendly in the meantime. :-) Alex	[reply]
