Re: Regex Matching

Assuming the data is in $line, you could do any of the following :

1. my ($fieldA,$fieldB,$fieldC,$fieldD) = unpack("a1a20a20a5",$line);
2. $line =~ m/(.)(.{20,20})(.{20,20})(.{5,5})/; ## note, \s is part of .
3. $fA = substr($line,0,1);$fB = substr($line,1,20); ## etc...

may the foo be with you

There is no need to write `{20,20}` in your regex. `{20}` means the same, is less typing, and, IMO, easier to read. -- Abigail	[reply] [d/l] [select]
