Hello Monks
Not sure how I have never come across this before but I can't figure out how to get the rest of a string after it has been matched!? E.g:
my $file = "TEST SHOW S01E01";
if(($file =~ m/(.*?)(\d+)/i) {
my $show = $1;
print "Show name: $show\n";
}
Show name: TEST SHOW S
This code places my matched string in $1. However, I need to keep going to perform a regex on the remainder of the string. I could split the original string on the $1 value but am I missing a simple trick!?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
