in reply to Re^2: searching the strings
in thread searching the strings

Not hardcoded(test) ,it can contain any texts.
if i have "<$filename" or ">$filename",the matching operation should separate "<"/">" and "$filename"
if i have ">>$filenaem", the program should terminate
die "No '>>' allowed!\n" if /^>>/; my $file; if (/[<>](.*)/) { $file=$1; } else { # what to do? You didn't specify... }
Any possibility to do this in one matching.

Generally people who want to do stuff like this in "one matching" when asked about the reason why, cannot give a good one. Do you have any?
