Re^2: regex match unicode characters in ascii string

[3dbc]

Thanks for posting, but I used that regex and it returned:

Group:= Group Name▼▼Role: Role Name

Trying to get all the group, role names into a group / role keys within a DBI $hashref which I already have, but want to add these key value pairs that have values without the Group: / Role: identifier and minus any of the extended ascii characters. Kind of cleaning up the values and organizing the data so I can work on it elsewhere.

Ok . try this

#!perl
use strict;
use HTML::Entities;
use Data::Dump 'pp';

my $string = "Group: Group Name▼▼Role: Role Name";
$string = decode_entities($string);
my @f=();
while ( $string =~ /(Group|Role)\:\s+([\x00-\x7f]*)/g ){
  push @f,$2;
};
pp \@f;

Thanks works well, but is only catching the last occurrence... meaning it only matches the role name, not the group name too. Need it to match both and ignore anything else so that I can update the DBI hashref with this info.

Are you running the code I posted ?. If not can you please post the string that is not working so I can replicate the error.
