in thread Question on File position, pulling words
Don't overlook my .*. As you can learn in perlretut,
the first quantifier .* grabs as much of the string as possible while still having the regexp match.
My submission said
/.* # Read as far as possible before \s # matching whitespace, (\S+) # capturing a word, \s+ # matching more whitespace, (\S+) # and finally capturing the last word. /x
