Re^8: Need help with a nested IF statement

I am having a very weird issue with the Linux portion of my script. Using the same method as I did on the Unix side, my output is empty.

my ($ip, $bcast, $mask) = /\binet addr:([\d.]+)\sBcast:([\d.]+)\sMask:
+([\d.]+)/

So I tried a different method

my ($ip, $bcast, $mask) = /\binet addr:([\d.]+)\s.+:([\d.]+)\s.+:([\d.
+]+)/
[download]

This actually finds the correct Interface, IP and Broadcast, but an irronious Netmask

cccadm@ccasec1::perl: ./ipandos.pl
Hello, your operating system is: linux
Interface 1 has the IP Address of 10.241.37.199
        Netmask: 808
        Broadcast: 255.255.255.0

The ifconfig on Linux is slightly different. Here is what it looks like for one interface....

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:B9:EB:80:8F
          inet addr:10.241.37.199  Bcast:10.241.37.255  Mask:255.255.2
+55.0
          inet6 addr: 3ffe:80c0:22c:225:219:b9ff:feeb:808f/64 Scope:Gl
+obal
          inet6 addr: fe80::219:b9ff:feeb:808f/64 Scope:Link

There are two spaces before Bcast.	[reply]

UPDATE *** I figured it out. The \s.+ was being greedy. I changed it to \s.+? to say take a little as possible and it corrected the issue. Now my output is exaclty what I want.	[reply]
