Re^4: can any reply out with a better code than this??

[asdfghjkl]

can u suggest me a code from taking both the things from terminal itself....can i print out the matched content with my code properly.i had justed tested out for a few cases like calling some files.etc.......whether it would work for any case like that so that it need to match 3 consecutive times as per the contents of $string

[fenLisesi]

Do you mean something like this?

use strict;

my $string = 'ri\d+';

while (my $line = <>) {
    if ($line =~ m{ ( ( \Q$string\E ){3} ) }xms) {
        print $line;
        printf qq{\tMatched "$2" x 3: "$1"\n};
    }
}

Why don't you post a little more of your code "calling some files"?
