This script is giving me a null output.

Really? I get output

syntax error at 806010.pl line 12, near "$record {"
syntax error at 806010.pl line 29, near "}"
Execution of 806010.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

When I fix the error, it works fine for me:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @office_patterns        = ( '^\d{3}-\d{4}$' );
my @international_patterns = ( '^[+]\d \d{3} \d{3}-\d{4}$' );

my @records = (
  '662-5555',
  '+1 102 892-1314',
);

my @office_phones;
my $office_phones;
my @international_phones;
NUMBER: foreach (@records) {
  my $record = $_;

  # Trim spaces.
  $record =~ s/^\s+//;
  $record =~ s/\s+$//;

  foreach my $office_pattern (@office_patterns) {
    if ($record =~ /$office_pattern/) {
      push @office_phones, $record;
      next NUMBER;
    }
  }
  foreach my $international_pattern (@international_patterns) {
    if ($record =~ /$international_pattern/) {
      push @international_phones, $record;
      next NUMBER;
    }
  }
}

print "$_ (o)\n" for @office_phones;
print "$_ (i)\n" for @international_phones;

Here's some cleanup code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my @office_pats  = ( '\d{3}-\d{4}' );
my @iternat_pats = ( '[+]\d \d{3} \d{3}-\d{4}' );

my ($office_pat)   = map qr/$_/, join '|', @office_pats;
my ($internat_pat) = map qr/$_/, join '|', @internat_pats;

my @office_phones;
my @internat_phones;
for (@recs) {
    my $rec = $_;
    $rec =~ s/^\s+//;
    $rec =~ s/\s+$//;
    push @office_phones,   $rec if $rec =~ /^$office_pat\z/;
    push @internat_phones, $rec if $rec =~ /^$internat_pat\z/;
}

print "$_ (o)\n" for @office_phones;
print "$_ (i)\n" for @internat_phones;

Can u help me with this? What if i want to save whatever is matched.

my $record = "662-5555";
my $record = "+1 102 892-1314";

while($record =~ m/(^\d{3}-\d{4}$)/) {
    print "$record";
}

Thanks, Pamela

Then go back to using push @array, $record;, like you did in the OP.

Maybe you should address the warning before you do anything else.

Why did u put this array? my @record = ( "662-5555", "+1 102 892-1314" ); What if they are just individual values? Thanks, Pamela

Did you want to run the "print if" against both values?
