Re^2: Seeking a better way to do it

I think the OP meant 'Iago' and 'Othello', so maybe something similar to this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;

my ($char_list) = "Enter Iago, Othello, and  others";

my (@words) = split( /\W/, $char_list, 0 );
foreach my $word (@words) {
    if ( $word =~ m/[F-Z]\w+/g ) {
        push my (@entering_chars), $word;
        print "@entering_chars";
    }
}

But starX's script also gives "Enter" word in the output. I guess he/she need to extract words contains Upper case letter	[reply]

Ya, we really need more info. Limiting the first letter to F through Z is not very portable. If you already know the words you want (and choose the letters accordingly), you might as well name the words specifically.	[reply]

I agree frozenwithjoy let starX come back to us with his/her clear requirement.	[reply]
