Re: Perl = reg Exp - Cut info in middle

Of course this could be done by regex:

my $yourstring="someinfo:Info_to_cut:Take_me_off";
$yourstring=~/^.*?:(.*?):.*$/;
$info=$1;

I assumed that there are only two ':' in your string and you wanted the part between them.

I think `$yourstring=~/^[^:]:([^:])/;` might be faster, but only a Benchmark will tell for sure.	[reply] [d/l]
