Re^2: Regex - remove characters (pattern not terminated)

Thanks for the help! However, I would like to do a little bit more than just remove 6 characters following the pattern; I would like to remove the pattern as well as the 6 preceding/following characters.

The following did remove the 6 following characters but I would like to integrate the pattern into the regex so that it will also be removed.:

$temp_seq =~ s/^($tag_seq)\w{6}(.*)/$1$2/;

Any suggestions?

I would like to remove the pattern as well as the 6 preceding/following characters. Actually, that's even easier; see my other reply.	[reply]

Ahh thank you!! I don't know how I overlooked before, but forgive me! I'm going to try and implement the reverse pattern and I'm sure I'll run into more problems! I'll keep you update. Thanks again!!	[reply]
