The "$" at the end of your regex means 'match only if "R" followed by five digits' is at the END of your line of data. That said, there are numerous guesses already as to what your data might really look like (Hint: code tags!), so here's another. It may be relevant if your data looks like that in the code below:

#!/usr/bin/perl use 5.014; #994367 my @data = ( 'R00005: 00330: C01010 => C00011', 'R00005: 00791: C01010 => C00011', 'R00005: 01100: C01010 <=> C00011', 'R00006: 00770: C00022 => C00900', 'R00008: 00362: C06033 => C00022', 'R00008: 00660: C00022 => C06033', 'R00010: 00500: C01083 => C00031', 'R00013: 00630: C00048 => C01146', 'R00013: 01100: C00048 <=> C01146', ); for my $data (@data) { if ( $data =~ /(R\d{5}).+)/ ) { # Match on and capture any line +which # contains the sequence R, 5 dig +its, and # something more # The parens in the regex captur +e the # match to $1 (but are not used +here) # which could be used in other a +pplications. say "\t Match on data $data. Hooray!"; } else { say "No match on data $data"; } } # do it again for those beginning "R00005" ONLY say "\n\n doing it again for 'R00005' ONLY"; for my $data (@data) { if ( $data =~ /(R0{4})(5)(.+)/ ) { say "\t Match on data " . $1 . $2 . $3 . " Hooray!"; # 3 capt +ures, # print' +em # NOT a good pr +actice; # illustrate ON +LY one aspect # of regex capt +ures } else { say "No match on data $data"; } } =head output: Match on data R00005: 00330: C01010 => C00011. Hooray! Match on data R00005: 00791: C01010 => C00011. Hooray! Match on data R00005: 01100: C01010 <=> C00011. Hooray! Match on data R00006: 00770: C00022 => C00900. Hooray!

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.
