Re^2: Generalising string in pattern

#!/usr/bin/perl

$filepath="D:/fetch/autofetch.log";

my $pattern1 =' Latest 29 Items in Feed & 0 New Fetched items';

sysopen($FILE,$filepath,o_RDWR) or die "could find the file";

while (my $line = <$FILE>) { # print $line if ($line =~m/\b$pattern1/ ); if($line =~m/$pattern/ ) { print $line; }

In the file i am searching for $pattern1.

The file has

Latest 29 Items in Feed & 0 New Fetched items

Latest 28 Items in Feed & 0 New Fetched items

Now i want pattern to match all 3..

But now my present pattern matches only first one

See perlre about `\d`, or about the `[...]` character class notation. Also, you might want to use `<code>...</code>` tags around your code and data so it renders and downloads nicely.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
