AntsPants has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Bonjour Monkers,
I have a regex that just doesn;t do what I think it should, no matter how loud I read out in English what it should be doing ;)
Trying to match blah/blah/blah#ThisIsWhatIWant?ButNotThisEtc
#(.*[^\?]) doesn't work
Whereas
#([\w]+[^\?]) does work!!
the one that fails, I've tried a host of ways including
#(.*)\[^\?\] #(.+)\[^\?\] .... and more
But I keep getting ThisIsWhatIWant?ButNotThisEtc matched
Any pointers would be terrrrrrrrrific.
Merci
-Ants
