Re: Find part of string

[Jasper]

my $matcher = /w/w_/w(?)_(1);

I'd be very interested in listening to an explanation of how you think that might match _theWord. I'd be interested in that a great deal. No offence, but a tutorial into the very basics of constructing a regular expression would be very useful to you. Spoon feeding you a solution, like some other posters have done isn't going to help you learn. The regular expression matching _theWord should surely contain "_theWord" somewhere...?
