You can also do this without a regex, by using split on the ‘/’ character to produce a list, and then subscripting the list to get the desired field:

#! perl use strict; use warnings; my $count = 0; for my $line (<DATA>) { my $name = (split '/', $line)[4]; print "Name #", ++$count, " is '", $name, "'\n"; } __DATA__ .co.uk/Jobs/Company-Sector/C8A6446X4PND86M9WYJ/Tradewind/?APath=2.21.0 +.0.0 .com/Stuff/Somewhere/ABCD789/Peabody/?APath=2.0.12.1.3 .com.au/More-Stuff/Anywhere/XYZ12345/Perkins/?APath=4.5.6.7.8

Output:

0:14 >perl 390_SoPW.pl Name #1 is 'Tradewind' Name #2 is 'Peabody' Name #3 is 'Perkins' 0:18 >

Hope that helps,

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.
