Re: Regex only returning partial data

[FunkyMonk]

You didn't give us much data to test against, but would this be good enough?

$_ = "<title>GRP -134 - Grinding And Cutting Solution (ACME PR50 - Wat
+er Type) </title>";

print "/", m{\d+\s*-\s*(.*?)\s*</title>}, "/";
#/Grinding And Cutting Solution (ACME PR50 - Water Type)/

Thanks FunkyMonk, I added more examples. Also I am just trying to pick up the Title description, not the GRP-134 -
Thanks

OK, with more data it looks like you want to capture everything after " - " up to "</title>". So...

while (<DATA>) {
    print "/", m{ - (.*?)\s*</title>}, "/\n";
}
__DATA__
