500
501
502
503
504
508
522
531
532

I just want to capture 500, 501, 502, 531, 532 Any ideas how to achive this using the range symbol? Thanks.

while (<DATA>){
      chomp;
      $tag = $_;
      #if ($tag =~ /50[0-2]/ || $tag =~ /5[30-33]/){
      if ($tag =~ /50[0-2]|5[30-33]/){
           print "$tag\n";
      }
}
                                    
__DATA__
500
501
502
503
504
508
522
531
532
547

• 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).
