in reply to Regex: Extracting the case insensitive string and printing on the output

Use ( ) to grab what you want. The result(s) will be in the special variables $1, $2, ...

if ($mytarget =~ m/($mystring)/i)
     {       
         print "It matches $1\n";   
     }

see perlretut (section on extracting matches).
