Re: Help with placing the matches of a regex into an Array

in reply to Help with placing the matches of a regex into an Array

I can make the match work by removing the square brackets (character class):

while ( my $link = <DATA> ){
    $link =~ m/onclick="document\.location\.href='(.+)'"/g;
    say $1;
}
__DATA__
onclick="document.location.href='hello'"
onclick="document.location.href='there'"
onclick="document.location.href='world'"

__END__
%./match.pl
hello
there
world

true! putting a dot into a character class [.] is like escaping it \.

But why did the OP say that he got one match?

I don't know. There is not enough context, nor any sample data. For all I know, the @game_array could have been previously populated with something somewhere else. :)
