in reply to Extract sequence of UC words?
If you mean "a sequence of upper case words", the answer would be the following three strings (maybe not including the last, if your definition of sequence means "strictly more than one"):my $data = 'THIS IS a TEST SENTENCE Foo BAR';
Other responses in this thread point you at a solution for this.THIS IS TEST SENTENCE BAR
OTOH, if you mean all upper case words (and want to collect them separately), then you want the following five words:
In that case, look into the g modifier for regular expressions and how to capture multiple matches into an array (using parens to capture the matches you like; see perlretut for a nice introduction). The basic idea (you need to supply the right regex for your needs) is:THIS IS TEST SENTENCE BAR
my @uc_words = $data =~ /(appropriate_regex_goes_here)/g;
