Re: newbie to regex: all matches

I tried the following but it makes the script hand indefinitely.

my $content = get($start);
my @matches;
while ($content) { push(@matches, $1) if ($content =~ m/(page.php?id=\
+d+)/)}

print @matches;

Be sure to \? before your ? as that's a special character. UPDATE adding code `my @matches = ($content =~ m/(image.php\?id=\d+)/g);` [download] UPDATE 2 Fixed typo of /? to \? thanks to GrandFather "Age is nothing more than an inaccurate number bestowed upon us at birth as just another means for others to judge and classify us" sulfericacid	[reply] [d/l]

This will run forever because the while loop will run as long as $content is true. Nothing in the loop changes $content, so assuming it's true to begin with, the loop never ends.	[reply]
