No problem. Just use the second snippet instead of the third one. | [reply] |
How do I say match anything but not allow spaces between words?
Like:
if($filename=~/.*!\s[.](?!bat$|exe$).*$/gi){...
This is not working if I use .*!\s | [reply]
[d/l] |
ikegami's second regular expression will still do what you want.
This only allows the characters a-z (upper and lower case) for the file name and an extension of 3 of the same characters. No spaces allowed, no weird characters.
My recommendation is to use this one.
Also, for general questions on regex, take a look at perlre. This will answer many of your questions and broaden your overall understanding of regular expressions.
