Perl Regex to take the UC Words.

[Anonymous Monk]

Hello Monks,

I have a doubt on how to take the total UC words out of a line.

Example1:

---------

$string = "BROUGHTON VETERINARY GROUP. Leicestershire mixed practice seeks experienced vet to replace assistant relocating to Scotland";

Here I need to take out the "BROUGHTON VETERINARY GROUP" in a new $string_new.

Example2:

---------

$string = "GIRLING AND BOWDITCH VETERINARY SURGEONS We are looking for an experienced vet for our 5 vet mixed practice.";

Here I need to take out the "GIRLING AND BOWDITCH VETERINARY SURGEONS" in a new $string_new.

Example3:

---------

$string = "STANHOPE PARK VETERINARY HOSPITAL. Due to a pregnancy epidemic we are looking for 2 new vets, 100% small animal hospital in County Durham.";

Here I need to take out the "STANHOPE PARK VETERINARY HOSPITAL" in a new $string_new.

Dear Monks Is it possible using a regex? Kindly help!

Thanks in advance.

Use character class with uppercase letter [A-Z] with word boundary \b

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

while(<DATA>)
{
    my @array = $_ =~ m/\b([A-Z]+)\b/g;
    print "@array\n";
}

__DATA__
BROUGHTON VETERINARY GROUP. Leicestershire mixed practice seeks experi
+enced vet to replace assistant relocating to Scotland
GIRLING AND BOWDITCH VETERINARY SURGEONS We are looking for an experie
+nced vet for our 5 vet mixed practice.
STANHOPE PARK VETERINARY HOSPITAL. Due to a pregnancy epidemic we are 
+looking for 2 new vets, 100% small animal hospital in County Durham.

Thx. Vinoth. That was very kind of you. but If there is digits we want to take, how we can do that... means "BROUGHTON VETERINARY GROUP123. Leicestershire456 mixed practice789 seeks experienced000 vet to replace assistant relocating to Scotland" and I want to take "BROUGHTON VETERINARY GROUP123" out of that.

Try this way,

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;


while(<DATA>)
{
    my @array = $_ =~ m/\b([A-Z]+(?:\d+)?)\b/g;

    print "@array\n";
}

__DATA__
BROUGHTON VETERINARY GROUP123. Leicestershire mixed practice seeks exp
+erienced vet to replace assistant relocating to Scotland
GIRLING AND BOWDITCH VETERINARY SURGEONS We are looking for an experie
+nced vet for our 5 vet mixed practice.
STANHOPE PARK VETERINARY HOSPITAL. Due to a pregnancy epidemic we are 
+looking for 2 new vets, 100% small animal hospital in County Durham.
