Re^4: regex testing for multiple values

"Mismatched" is so hard to understand?

Did you try taking it out?

{...} surrounds quantifiers in regexen, like:

=~/[A-Z](1,3}/ # Match any char in the range A-Z no fewer than once,
               # nor more than 3 times

Did you try it out? Did you? :) `$_ = '{IND'; print "Ok\n" if /{IND/; ____ Ok` [download] Update: It seems that I misquoted ww, who actually wrote 'Did you try taking it out?'. My point remains valid, though. The problem is not with the regex, it is somewhere else in the code.	[reply] [d/l]

With chagrin, I must admit that I was thinking syntax, and testing proves me wrong on that account. However, grashoper is not looking for `'{IND'` but, rather, for "3 letter account codes...." If I understand that correctly, the condition in the regex in Re^2: regex testing for multiple values `if ($Session->{'usrSystem'}=~/{IND\|NOR\|PRO\|ARM\|SND/s)` introduces an open_curly_brace (`{`), which is wrong, in part, because the regex then tries first to match on for an open_curly_brace.
