Assuming your input string is 'Michael please look at E123456', your regular expression expects a trailing space that is not there. Rather than looking for trailing white space, perhaps you'd like the non-whitespace character class \S (m/$mystring2\s*(\S*)/i)? See Using character classes. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.
