Re: Get middle word

my ($result)= m{ FIXED (.*?) FIXED }x;

Just to make sure I used a non-greedy match (the ? makes the * match as few characters as possible). That won't make a difference until more than 2 'FIXED' strings are in one line

`my ($result)= m{ FIXED (.?) FIXED }x;` [download] That fails on strings like `"FIXEDfooFIXEDbarFIXED"` without making any assumptions beyond the stated* requirements. A greedy match seems right here. `-sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
