Re: regex problem (again)

Use /\S{4}\s(.+)/. I don't understand the (?{length($input);}) part -- it will always true unless $input is the empty string.

BTW, the regexp as given did not match, so $txt did not start with a space.

Hi sweepy, Just replace S (upper case) with s (lower case) `$input = "xxxx aaaa bbbbb"; ($txt) = $input =~ /\s{5}(.+)(?{length($input);})/; chomp; print $txt;` [download] This is working!	[reply] [d/l]

No, it's not: `my $input = "xxxx aaaa bbbbb"; my ($txt) = $input =~ /\s{5}(.+)(?{length($input);})/; print $txt, "\n"; __END__ Use of uninitialized value $txt in print at ?? line ??.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
