Re: Identifying the position of match using regular expressions

in reply to Identifying the position of match using regular expressions

if you are using the /g modifier in your regex, you can use pos($string) to get the position after the match.
generally you can use the @- and @+ arrays to get all match offsets and ends.

my $s = "ABCDFEFFAA";
$s =~ m/AA/;
say "$-[0] $+[0]";
__END__
