I'm confused. Please explain how your needed output differs from your original string; they appear the same to me. If you intend to capture everything, please explain what you're trying to not capture, or at least what you would like to fail to match.

Update:
Do you really want Text::Balanced's extract_bracketed() subroutine? It can be used to essentially capture the "balanced parens" portion of a string. Observe:

use strict; use warnings; use Text::Balanced qw( extract_bracketed ); my $text='(one dfd(two(three)four()(five)df())df)'; my $balanced = extract_bracketed( $text ); print "$balanced\n";

Also note, if the return value of extract_bracketed() is undef (in scalar context), it means the parens weren't balanced.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
