Re: Two Regex Searches Simultaneously (on One Line)

Regular expressions are great for handling complex string manipulations, but in this case, I would say you are taking a string of numbers separated by spaces, and dividing on the spaces. split() seems a more natural mechanism:

my @a = split ' ', $s1;
my @b = split ' ', $s2;

split() is also the fastest method i think when compiled if your doing large scale searches.	[reply]
