Re^2: Reguar expression

Nifty work chomzee, I like it, but considering mr. selva has not cared to provide any details into his own problems... and considering unknown issues with his unknown data... I would feel a wee bit safer with this...

$_ = "This is first sentence.";
print "1st: match\n" if (/^This/i and /\.$/ and !/\bfirst\b/);

$_ = "This is second sentence.";
print "2nd: match\n" if (/^This/i and /\.$/ and !/\bfirst\b/);

That's true, it certainly depends on data and some details that OP didn't give (so your hints are reasonable and useful). And it's still three regular expressions not one, but who cares -- the code does the job well. :)	[reply]
