in reply to extract the value before a particualr string
The regex in the following script does exactly what you specify. It extracts the 5-digit value before each "\total" in a single line.
use strict; use warnings; my $in_string = "Apples Orances:5433 55552246:777449 Country 457852/total" . " " . "Apples Red:9987 green:777449 Public 74585/total" . "\n" ; my @totals = $in_string =~ m{ (\d{5}) (?= /total ) }gx; print "@totals\n";
