Re: Regex to remove data

[Athanasius]

Something like this should do the trick:

#! perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @lines = <DATA>;

s/ ^ [A-Z\s]+ $ //x for @lines;

print for @lines;

__DATA__
AAAAAAAA
AAAA AAAAAAA
AAAA AAA AAA
Leave me intact PLEASE

Output:

 0:10 >perl 369_SoPW.pl
Leave me intact PLEASE

 0:13 >

Update 1: Note that this will also remove blank (i.e. empty) lines.

Update 2: Changed

print "@lines";

to

print for @lines;

to address the issue of leading spaces raised by Anonymous Monk, below.

Hope that helps,
