Why not save a little typing and put the captures around the whole "QUEUE(...)" and "RNAME(...)"? `while ( <INPUT> ) { print OUTPUT qq{$1 ------> $2\n} if m{(?x) ^ AMQ8409 .? ( QUEUE .? \) ) .* ( RNAME .*? \) ) }; }` [download] You don't need to escape the closing parenthesis in your negated character class, BTW. Cheers, JohnGG	[reply] [d/l]
