Re: Regex problems using '|'

How about

foreach my $vulnerabilityText (@records)
{
    $vulnerabilityText =~ m/(Remediation Report|.+)/;
    my $vulnerabilityName = $1;

    print($vulnerabilityName, "\n");
}

Whoops. I posted the wrong pattern. The one I needed to work wouldn't work correctly with the grouping behavior of (), since I had to match on unique text in record 1 to locate the same information that's at the top in the other records.	[reply]

OK, that makes it something like: `foreach my $vulnerabilityText (@records) { $vulnerabilityText =~ m/(Remediation report\n\n)?(.+)/; my $vulnerabilityName = $2; print($vulnerabilityName, "\n"); }` [download] I'm not sure about the newlines, but you'll work that out.	[reply] [d/l]
