Don't use my variables declared outside the regex pattern from within (?{}).

The problem you are having is that one of the patterns matches, then gets added to @list1, then gets unmatched by backtracking. But you never remove it from @list1 on backtracking. A simple example of this:

>perl -le"'abc1def2' =~ /(?:([a-z])(?{ print $^N }))+2/" a b c b c c d e f

The solution is to use $^R.

use strict; use warnings; my @vocabulary = qw( a abc abcd abd bc ); my $sentence = 'abdaabc'; my ($pattern) = map qr/$_/, join '|', map quotemeta, sort { length($b) <=> length($a) } # optional @vocabulary; use re 'eval'; local our @list; $sentence =~ / (?{ [] }) ^ (?: ($pattern) (?{ [ @{$^R}, $^N ] }) )+ $ (?{ @list = @{$^R} }) /x or die("No solution\n"); print( join('-', @list), "\n" ); # abd-a-abc

Without the sort, you'd get abd-a-a-bc. If you want all possible solutions:

... use re 'eval'; local our @list; $sentence =~ / (?{ [] }) ^ (?: ($pattern) (?{ [ @{$^R}, $^N ] }) )+ $ (?{ push @list, join('-', @{$^R}) }) (?!) /x; die("No solution\n") if !@list; print("$_\n") for @list;
abd-a-a-bc abd-a-abc

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.
